Rurawhe AdrianANGELA ROBERTS (Labour): When I listened to the Prime Minister's statement yesterday I was encouraged. We've heard a lot about the ambitious plans and there are many of them with this Government. This Government despite all of the challenges of the last couple of years has plans. It has ambitious plans for our nation to protect us and keep us moving forward. Not only am I encouraged but I am really confident because I know from the last couple of years that we are able to plan look at the evidence take action and we can deliver.So that confidence partly comes from looking at how we have responded and what we did to be in such a strong position with regards to not just COVID but our economy and what our communities have done over the last couple of years. To be honest less than a year ago as we were rolling out vaccinations Taranaki was described as being a little slow out of the blocks and we really had to think hard about how to make sure that we looked after our communities and so what did we do? The leadership across our community rose to the challenge. They collaborated—the DHB our primary health providers iwi our Māori Women's Welfare League NGOs good old rural support local government and a ton of volunteers came together and built a response. We were nimble and effective and we got a vaccination programme that has helped us catch up and we've made it across the finish line and we're doing well. They made sure that every person could find a trusted face and a trusted place whether it was Tui Ora down at our local Whakaahurangi Marae iwi the local rugby club rooms our schools—I don't know how many times I was in a supermarket car park having to walk around flags—pharmacies doctors surgeries.The outreach was effective. Every arm counts and it felt that way whether it was the Taranaki basketball team turning up to make sure our young people felt like they were in a trusted place whether it was rural support who worked for the DHB to go up the driveways of our most vulnerable and isolated rural community members. Every arm counts not just for vaccinations but for providing a safe place where those in our community who were feeling really vulnerable and had really valid questions could take the time and were given the respect to have them answered by professionals. They felt safe and they got vaccinated. Hayden Wano CEO of one of our local Māori health providers Tui Ora recently described that team as being match fit". That collaboration that maturing of relationships was one of the wonderful things that has come out of what has been a terrible couple of years.So we're "match fit" not just to deliver boosters and support the vaccination of our children but as we progress the building of our unified national health service as we roll out our influenza programme this year as we go to pass the Pae Ora (Healthy Futures) Bill. We have the mature relationships to co-construct with the health workforce with iwi with our NGOs who are on the ground and working with our communities—again like I say like rural support—with patients and with communities. We know that as a nation when we collaborate when we work together when we look at the evidence and when we have all the different worldviews in the room we can realise our ambitious plans and we can keep this nation moving forward.I'm excited that we have learnt so much from the last couple of years that have been so hard on so many of us and that we are going to be stronger and we're going to be able to face the challenges that come in front of us. This Government has proven to not only meet the challenges but be really good leaders in times of change. And so on reflection of what the Prime Minister laid before us yesterday I am confident that as a community we can rise to the challenges be ambitious and make sure that we realise the dreams of every New Zealander and we make sure that we keep going and we're better off this time next year as well. Kia ora.DEPUTY SPEAKER: I understand this is a split call. I call Ricardo Menéndez March—five minutes."
