Clark DavidHon Dr DAVID CLARK (Minister of Health): That is the longest most tortured apology I have heard from that member in quite some time. Honestly a member who talked at the beginning about the $8 billion promise that the Labour Opposition made to put $8 billion more into healthcare in the first four years. We are well on the road to delivering that as a coalition Government. We've already put over $6 billion in in our first two Budgets in that forecast period as relevantly measured. That member of course neglected to focus too much upon the nine years of neglect the underfunding—the long-term underfunding—that has left us in the position we're in where the health system has been scrambling to fund services to make sure that it could deal with the level of need in our communities because our buildings have been run down. We've had rot mould and sewage in our buildings as a consequence of their Government's failure to invest.In the Budget we're talking about here more money was put in to health capital in the most recent Budget than that previous Government put in in the whole nine years they were in office. In one Budget we've put more money into health capital than they put in in nine years because we are serious about rebuilding our health system after nine years of neglect. We're determined to tackle the long-term challenges that have been left to us that we've inherited Madam Chair—Mr Chair—the person next to me keeps changing.We have funded a number of things. We've funded cheaper doctors visits. We've made sure that it's cheaper for 600000 New Zealanders to go to the doctor. We have started funding the fixing of our rundown hospitals but of course more investment will be needed because they have been neglected for so long. We've funded modern radiation machines. Mr Woodhouse I don't know where he was when the announcement was made about those radiation machines. He was saying no capital had been put aside. That was the whole point: capital was being put aside to make sure that we funded for the next 12 replacements—modern radiation machines to make sure that New Zealanders can get cancer care closer to home.We better funded our ambulance services. We're paying family carers what they deserve. We've funded Pharmac better and again Mr Woodhouse completely misunderstanding Budget 2018 where $13.5 million of new money was put into Pharmac. He keeps repeating that error. I do not know what he doesn't understand there and of course we got more value for more New Zealanders because a whole lot of money at the same time was transferred across from the DHB management into the Pharmac management where we know the Pharmac model purchases more drugs. So we are getting on and providing more health services for more New Zealanders. But no one pretends that we can fix nine years of neglect in just two Budgets. It will take ongoing investment but we are doing some serious investment. We are taking mental health seriously. We have put $1.9 billion in this Budget—$1.9 billion; the biggest-ever investment in mental health—into mental health because we think that we need to take mental health seriously. It's something that has not been done before. It makes economic sense. It's the right thing to do and we know that one-in-five New Zealanders in any given year could be wrestling with a mental health or addiction challenge. So we're going to make that investment. In fact we've already made good investments in that area. Nurses in schools—we've funded the Piki programme in the Greater Wellington and Wairarapa area—Kieran McAnulty: That's right.Hon Dr DAVID CLARK: —and I want to thank the Green Party for their support and Mr McAnulty for his verbal support especially of that good programme in the area that he represents. Also I want to think about the investments that we've put into those community services card cheaper doctors visits which of course are a way into mental health services for many people. Two hundred million dollars in capital we've put aside for building our mental health and addiction facilities for making sure that they are coming up to scratch again because many of them are no longer the ideal place to look after people who have mental health or addiction needs. And of course we've put significant money into the mental health ring-fence to support our specialists additional programmes for vulnerable mothers and money going into detox services in Auckland and so on. The investments keep coming. We're very focused on making sure that we support that health system after those nine years of neglect. As a Government we're building a new front-line service and I think in the closing seconds I just want to say how important that is to make sure that people with mild to moderate mental health needs can access services in primary care. That's one of the big investments in the Budget; nearly half a billion dollars going into that. That will take time to set up and to deliver but we're determined to do just that.
