The restructure is in response to the Health and Disability System Review, which found that MÄori have "not been served well by the system", and the system "has not delivered MÄori health and wellbeing outcomes that are fair". Â
Collins is clearly not a fan of the Government's plan, promising to scrap the entire restructure if National is elected to power in 2023.Â
Being "really clear", Collins said on Twitter National would "reverse the restructuring of public health announced by Labour today" because the replacement of DHBs "by a Wellington bureaucracy will not work".Â
Collins said National would also "remove the Maori Health Authority" because "public health provision must be based on individual need, not race".Â
