Hon PEENI HENARE: The $36 million investment is significant, but preventing the death of our Māori and Pacific whānau means so much more. A higher proportion of bowel cancer occurs in Māori and Pacific peoples before they reach the age of 60, at approximately 21 percent compared to 10 percent for non-Māori and non-Pacific peoples. This investment will ensure that the screening system reflects these statistics. This announcement will mean about 60,000 more of our whānau will be invited to access screening every year. Our people deserve to live longer and have healthier lives, which is why this Government is committed to making services like bowel screening fairer by lowering the screening age.
