What happened
National released its fiscal plan, which did not account for operational funding for General Practitioners (GPs) in New Zealand. GPA spokesperson Dr Buzz Burrell stated that general practice is already in crisis and may not survive another three years of underfunding.

Why it matters
The fiscal plan left unallocated operational funds for other sectors, including education and law and order. GPA has demanded that National commit to increasing the number of GPs and allocating funds to ensure they are paid for all hours worked.
The National party addressed the cost of living in New Zealand on October 12.
