Well, we have to focus on prevention.

We have to focus on early detection, and we also have to make sure we're treating people.

And so we're focused on all of those areas.

And in terms of the prevention and early detection, we've rolled out the lowering age of the bowel screening to 58.

We're extending breast screening to age 74.

We've got a huge amount of focus in those areas as well.

But the reality is when people are diagnosed with cancer, we need to make sure that they receive the treatments that they need in a timely manner.

And we need to provide those treatments closer to home.

And that's what this rollout delivers.

Look, there's always demand in our health system for further expenditure.

I think for most New Zealanders, though, they would say cancer is right at the top of the list.

Cancer is one of those top priorities.

Everyone knows someone who's been affected by cancer or had cancer themselves.

And making sure that we're providing those modern medicines closer to home is a top priority that we're focused on delivering.

And that's why we invested...

the additional money in Pharmac back in Budget 24.

That's why we're investing in the rollout of additional cancer infusion centers closer to home.

And particularly, I think travel is a big thing for people with cancer.

They have to travel often for their infusions.
