Alliance on Health

The Alliance wants to make GP visits, dental, optical, and audiology appointments free for everyone. It plans to do this by creating a new public body called the Community Health Service, which would take over running clinics and pay all the costs, so patients would see the same doctors but pay nothing. It also wants to fund hospitals and community care together as one system.

• Eliminate costs for GP visits, dental, optical, and audiology services
• Create a Community Health Service (CHS) to fund and run primary and allied health services publicly
• Have the CHS cover practice costs including rent, payroll, administration, and IT, with staff employed by the CHS
• Fund community and hospital services as one system rather than separately
• Give Māori health providers the option to remain independent with full funding and pay equity for their staff
• Make pay for primary and community care workers equal to secondary care colleagues under existing collective agreements
