Hon ANDREW LITTLE (Minister of Health): Yes. In particular, I stand by the actions that this Labour Government is taking to rebuild our public health system and to address serious health inequities such as the fact that Māori, on average, die seven years earlier than Pākehā, and Pacific people, rural people, and disabled people are routinely excluded from basic healthcare. If we don't make these changes, it will mean tolerating more inequity, more ill health, and more premature deaths.
