*Reform Deputy Leader visits supporters at Auckland City Hospital, where he discusses Reform’s health policies, and the absolute lack of healthcare policies from the National Party.”

“Afternoon everyone! I’d like to thank you all for coming out here this afternoon to discuss this upcoming election. It’s crucial that you know who’s policy is what this election.”

“Reform has a comprehensive health policy aimed at ensuring all Kiwis are able to achieve better health outcomes. We believe that health is a critical investment in our country, and that a properly funded and resourced public health service will not only provide better for our country, but save money in the long run.”

“So what is the National Party offering in regards to health?”

“Absolutely nothing.”

“I wish that I was joking. I really do, The National Party, the junior party in our country’s governing coalition, has no health policy whatsoever going into this election.”

“But do you want to know what Reform will do?”

“We will review the accessibility of affordable healthy foods, with the aim of ensuring all families can afford to eat nutrition rich meals.”

“We will introduce the Teen Health Check Bill to require DHBs to make provision for health checks on all Year 9 students and other measures to ensure no young person enters secondary school with health problems likely to be a barrier to their learning.”

“We will ensure that the subsidy paid to elderly in care is automatically adjusted for CPI inflation each year.”

“We will review the processes and funding for the public purchase of essential equipment and new technology to ensure that decisions are timely and the New Zealand public have access to the best possible health services.”

“We’ll legislate for clear labelling of all genetically modified food (GMF) products.”

“And we’ll increase the nurse wage rectify the demand for nurses, shorten the average work shift, and incentivise people to consider entering the nursing industry”

“We will also ensure a high quality 'rural service' specialization is available in our medical schools.”

“So what will National do?”

“Is it that they simply do not care for the health of Kiwis to include it in their manifesto?”

“Or are they hiding something?”

“We as a nation cannot risk National and their lack of care for the health of our nation.”

“Don’t risk it. Vote Reform.”
