28099 (2023). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: Does the Minister intend to replace the prescriptions subsidy with a more targeted one, making prescriptions free for low-income Kiwis and superannuitants, and capping the total amount any person will pay for prescriptions a year at $100, as outlined in the National Party’s ‘Better Health Outcomes’ document, and if not, why not?

Hon Dr Shane Reti: I refer the Member to reply number 26157 (2023)
