Hon ANDREW LITTLE: There are many parts of the health workforce that are under huge pressure because of years of underfunding the health sector and the workforce that goes with it, including the fact that in the nine years leading up to the formation of this Government, nurses' remuneration, for example, went backwards in real terms. This is a Government that is determined to fix those problems, but with a workforce of 77,000, represented by many unions, we can't do everything at once. We are actively engaged with all unions, not only to lift the rates of pay in their collective agreements but also, where it is required, to address longstanding pay inequity under the Equal Pay Act. We have a programme of work in that respect, and that work is well under way.
