It's with great pleasure and optimism that I stand to support this bill, and I want to endorse the Minister the Hon Andrew Little's words of thanks to many who work in the health system today, to the many who contributed to making this bill and where we're taking the health-reform work, and to the many who have contributed to make it better. I want to acknowledge the Minister himself. He was brave, he was bold, and he was prepared to work constructively to make sure that we can deliver to New Zealand a health system that they deserve. I want to acknowledge him and, of course, the rest of our colleagues in this Government for the support on this journey to make sure that we can continue to do the hard work, to make sure that off the back of a number of key announcements in the Budget just gone—as well as the Budget of last year—we can continue to deliver the services that our people deserve.
