What is your Party’s position on implementing and funding the Women’s Health Strategy as a national priority?

ACT

Greens

The Green Party supports implementing and funding the Women’s Health Strategy.

Labour

In July 2023, the Labour Government published the first Women’s Health Strategy, which set the direction for improving the health and wellbeing of women over the next 10 years.
The strategy sets long-term priorities to guide the health system's progress towards equity and healthy futures for women.

We will announce further health policy closer to the election. Labour’s vision is pae ora, healthy futures, for women. All women will live longer in good health, have improved wellbeing and quality of life, and be part of healthy, and resilient whānau and communities, within healthy environments that sustain their health and wellbeing.

National

NZ First

New Zealand First prioritizes healthcare based on clinical need over administrative duplication. Our past policies have included extending free breast cancer screening to women aged 40–74, funding new rapid diagnostic technologies, and doubling the Pharmac budget ($1.3 billion) for life-saving medicines.

Opportunity

Opportunity supports the objectives of the Women's Health Strategy and recognises the importance of women's health being a national priority. Our key priority within the health portfolio is to build cross-party consensus on a long-term health plan that sets out a consistent and secure approach to resourcing the health system. The objectives of the Women’s Health Strategy would necessarily form part of this.
