Te Pāti Māori understand that Aotearoa has a health workforce crisis and that we will not be able to train and recruit the nurses we need without significant investment. These funding commitments will see an increase in training, improved staffing levels and funding available for meaningful paylifts for nurses. Properly resourcing Te Aka Whai Ora will prioritise Māori Health, ensure culturally appropriate care is available by moving to a To Māori, by Māori, for Māori approach.
