Report Links Public Health Spending to Private Corporations Financed in Cayman Islands
What happened
A report from the Centre for International Corporate Tax Accountability and Research found that 46.4% of all public health spending went to the private sector. Furthermore, 80% of the $3 billion increase in combined Health New Zealand and ACC health spending since 2023 was allocated to the private sector. The report also noted that National received $676,372 in secret donations through its protected-donation system.

Why it matters
The findings suggest that increased public health spending has been directed toward private health corporations, including those financed through the Cayman Islands. This shift is linked to the policy stances of National, which has received undisclosed donations.
