This is not good policy, nor targeted spending. It’s just a press release trying to distract people from the very real problems in health. Our health system needs real solutions and real funding - to properly support health workers across Aotearoa. Not more spin.

Rather than pretend $20m is going to make any difference (it represents 0.06% of health funding), the Minister could recognise the government underfunded health to begin with. He could pay nurses and doctors properly - rather than fight them.
