5. Health Services—FundingHon Dr JONATHAN COLEMAN (National—Northcote) to the Minister of HealthHealth Services—Funding5. Hon Dr JONATHAN COLEMAN (National—Northcote) to the Minister of Health: What measurable outcomes if any will his policies deliver?Hon JENNY SALESA (Associate Minister of Health) on behalf of the Minister of Health: Improved health for New Zealanders.Hon Dr Jonathan Coleman: If the Government's projected 2018 health allocation of $846 million is in his words pretty much spent" on $300 million for primary care and $550 million for district health board (DHB) pressures how will he fund his other promises like the $10 million cancer agency more palliative care more mental health services and operations for everyone?Hon JENNY SALESA: This Government is committed to ensuring that we fund the health system much more appropriately. Unlike the member who asked the question we will fund it in the same way as other Governments in the past have. We will fund it through the normal budgetary process.Hon Dr Jonathan Coleman: If there is only $500 million in the half-yearly financial update for capital expenditure over the next five years for all 20 DHBs where will the $1.4 billion for Dunedin Hospital come from considering that he's committed to building it within that period and he's ruled out a public-private partnership?Hon JENNY SALESA: This Labour-led coalition Government with New Zealand First is committed to ensuring that we fund health appropriately. The last Government did not adequately fund the health system. One of the reasons why we're looking at a health system now—most DHBs are telling us that they're underfunded—is because that member and his previous National Government did not fund the health system appropriately. We will go through the Budget process and we will fund it just like every other Government before has.Hon Dr Jonathan Coleman: I raise a point of order Mr Speaker. I've asked two questions asking how the money will be funded and the questions haven't been addressed adequately.Mr SPEAKER: The member's had answers that are far too long but included that they will be funded through the Budget process. That is a perfectly good answer.Dr Liz Craig: What action is the Government taking to improve health outcomes in winter months?Hon JENNY SALESA: Today we announced the Families Package which includes the winter energy payment. This will go a significant way in reducing respiratory conditions caused by cold damp homes and will keep New Zealanders out of hospitals with preventable illnesses.Hon Dr Jonathan Coleman: Will older people who go to the Gold Coast and Hawaii each year also be eligible for the winter heating package?Hon JENNY SALESA: No. Read the details in the Families Package. [Interruption]Mr SPEAKER: Order! If Mr Brownlee would like Dr Coleman to have another supplementary he'll be quiet now.Hon Dr Jonathan Coleman: What does the Minister estimate that Vote Health will be in four years' time given that it's $16.2 billion this year and he has stated repeatedly that he's increasing Vote Health by $8 billion over four years?Hon JENNY SALESA: The member knows that the budgetary process is a really robust process. He has been in Government before for nine long years. We will go through the Budget process very soon and he'll just have to be patient and wait for the Budget process."
