Kanongata'a-Suisuiki Anahila; Dyson RuthANAHILA KANONGATA'A-SUISUIKI (Labour): Thank you Te Mana Whakawā. It's a privilege to stand here to make a contribution to the second reading of the Organ Donors and Related Matters Bill. I know the previous two speakers spoke about what this Government should do but I really think this bill fits in with the Government's wider plan to fix New Zealand's health system after nine long years of neglect.Hon Members: What's that?ANAHILA KANONGATA'A-SUISUIKI: Anyway let me get back to this bill—nine long years of neglect if you didn't hear me.Right let me get back to this bill. I was present in the House when the Minister spoke about how it would make it easier for Pacific and Māori to have conversations with their family about organ donors. As a Tongan and as a Pacific person living in New Zealand the most sacred part of a Tongan's life is birth and death. At death the body is so sacred that when you're talking about organ donation almost near death that conversation usually doesn't end up being a gift of organ donation.But live donors—I myself am a donor but I haven't had that conversation with my family. But in terms of an approach to make it easier for live donors in terms of a Tongan person I agree with this bill. In terms of Part 1 making it easier for New Zealanders to provide live donations of organs I actually agree with that perspective in terms of providing live donors and support for that to happen.We support this bill because it makes it as I said before easier for organ donation. I support the increased compensation that the bill provides for live organ donors and also want to acknowledge the work of the New Zealand Blood Service. What this bill does is it actually extends the work of New Zealand Blood Service. It changes the name of New Zealand Blood Service to New Zealand Blood and Organ Service. This reflects the additional statutory functions that will create not a new statutory entity but it actually changes the name of the New Zealand Blood Service to New Zealand Blood and Organ Service. The New Zealand Blood and Organ Service will be the same organisation as the New Zealand Blood Service.I just want to reiterate in terms of making it easier to donate organs. As a Tongan New Zealander I want to again repeat the fact that at death the tūpāpaku or the deceased is sacred to the family. However alive donations should be a focus in terms of the work of the new-named Blood Service—like I've spoken to before about the New Zealand Blood and Organ Service—the focus on how you can culturally appropriately respond to the services of New Zealanders.In terms of that culture that's why I keep making the point that birth and death are sacred to Tongans but live donations in between that—we belong to our families and we can provide that service. When we talk about service in terms of providing health services anywhere in New Zealand the people who are often spoken to in equality of service provided often the two populations in New Zealand that come after that are Māori and Pacific people.If we approached organ donation from the perspective of culturally appropriate education and conversation with these two sets of populations I think the outcome would be different. So I want to commend the work of the select committee thank the submitters and also the work of the New Zealand Blood Service. I want to commend their work and their new service that they're going to provide. I commend this bill to the House. Kia ora.ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Hon Ruth Dyson): The second five-minute call—the Hon Michael Woodhouse.
