The Opportunities Party says New Zealand's health system needs to look beyond hospitals. They want to spend more on GPs, nurses, and stopping people from getting sick in the first place, saying this saves money over time. They also want to pay health workers better, restore smokefree laws, and get political parties to plan the health system together over ten years.
“Opportunity will establish, and protect, a 10-year plan that properly funds our health workers and focuses on preventing illness in the first place.”
“we will advocate to increase and maintain health funding from the current 7.4% of GDP to 9% of GDP, and increase the share of funding for primary care providers like GP clinics.”
“In 2023, New Zealand ranked second in the world for protecting health policy from tobacco industry interference. By 2025, we ranked 53rd.”
