    They came with their pot of gold and Dawn Meats rose to majority shareholder of Alliance Meats.

    Free of debt at last cried the farmer co-operative and with investment in beef boning rooms and efficiency upgrades too.

    Well there is also the $40m in shareholder payouts if farmers met livestock supply targets ($20M pa over 2 years).

    Dawn Meats wants a worldwide supply of meat to retailers 12 months a year. Alliance gets to keep its name and be run independently here.

    So Green and black it is.

    Reducing insurance cost includes a better public policy framework.

    Another is an action plan.

    One area is flood risk, including the coast.

    Labour has identified a problem.

    The Government funds GP clinics based on the number of enrolled patients, regardless of the services they receive, through the capitation system.

    Verrall wrote that the current funding system “is built around controlling costs – for government and patients.

    “But the PHO Services Agreement Amendment Protocol negotiations and annual fee guidance limit practice income in ways that now threaten practice sustainability. That’s not good for the long-term health of our system or our patients.”

    The government wants more focus on foreign supply of health staff.

    40% of the medical workforce is from offshore.

    60% of foreign doctors only remain here for two years, using their NZ registration as a stepping stone to practice elsewhere.

    Of approximately 10,000 nurses in 2023-24 and 14,000 in 2024-25 seeking evidence to emigrate, 90% were internationally qualified … only 50% of the workforce here is.

    An entry door, 2 or more years and onto to Oz and beyond.

    Many members of an already overwhelmed health sector spent hours in discussion and writing submissions to point out the dangers of the proposed changes

    Despite the professional opposition through the submission process and despite no evidence of a problem this bill could solve, the Health Minister has announced the intention to proceed
