SIMON WATTS (National—North Shore): Thank you very much, Madam Speaker. I wish to stand on behalf of the National Party, as a member of Parliament for North Shore, to oppose the third reading of the Pae Ora (Healthy Futures) Bill. It is with some disappointment that I do that, having spent nearly half a decade working within the public health system in New Zealand in a variety of roles and continuing to work as a volunteer with our ambulance service. It is very disappointing that we aren't in a position where we've got consensus in terms of how we progress and build and improve our health system going forward. Because importantly, our health system is critical to the success of this country. Our health system is one of those pillars that will serve us all at periods of our lives, and the reality of where we stand today is that we do not have agreement across this House in terms of how that will look in the future. That is a grave shame because this is not an area which we should look to change or continually move from one point to another. But we are here for reasons that have been articulated already before: we need a health system that is based and focused on health outcomes; a system that targets resources based on need. If you do those two elements, you deal with the challenges that have been covered already in the House today.
