National's health policy - more money for PHARMAC, elective surgery guarantees
16 September 2020 - The National Party is promising record funding increases for PHARMAC, a new cancer agency, faster elective surgeries and primary care 'navigators' in its health policy.
The party's health spokesperson, Shane Reti, says every single health target has worsened under the Labour-led government.
"Even before COVID-19's emergence we were seeing cracks in our health system. Access to quality health care has slid backwards under Labour," he says.
