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.
“Every $1 spent on primary care (like GPs, practice nurses and midwives) can save upwards of $13 in wider health system costs.”
“Launch 'spend-to-save' primary and prevention initiatives, including digital health and AI tools.”
“Reinstate smokefree 2025 legislation.”
