From Checkpoint, 5:47 pm on 19 May 2022

For Māori the Budget includes $580 million of spending across health, social and justice sectors.

The Māori Health Authority - Te Mana Hauora Māori - gets $168 million for Māori health services over four years.

That's only about 1.5 percent of the 11.1 billion of new health spending. The budget also includes $167 million for Whānau Ora to support kaupapa Māori approaches to wellbeing.

Whānau Ora Commisioning Agency Director of Health Reforms Lance Norman talks to Lisa Owen.
