It doesn't. It never will. If a new Maori health authority is created and funded in 10 years time when there are no significant changes to Maori health outcomes who will be to blame?The other way of looking at that argument is if you remove all bureaucracy, what is left? I would suggest rampant white collar crime...
Why for example did it require an additional $300 million in funding to get Maori vaccinated? And even now they still lag behind every other ethnic group.
The 'what if in 10 years' really doesn't enter into the equation, economic decisions are made here and now in the present. Monitoring of outcomes is always fairly high on the agenda these days, so if the spending doesn't appear to be addressing the needs as they were intended then decisions about that aspect get made then, not now...
As for the last paragraph, I have no idea why, I vote in elections to enable others to make the higher level decisions for the country... Can you not just focus on the outcomes, higher rates of vaccination achieved (albeit still lagging behind), makes us all safer etc
Doesn't show the details over time but stats are here for anyone interested
