The Wellbeing Budget: Rebuilding Together package invests more than $3 billion in operating
funding per year to ensure that government services continue to support New Zealanders through this extraordinary time. It provides $5.6 billion for the health sector, so it can respond to the pandemic while maintaining the sustainable delivery of existing services. It also invests $1.6 billion across the forecast period in both government and non-government social services, which will support New Zealanders’ education, employment and housing outcomes.
