Alzheimer's NZ is asking health spokespeople for each political party ‘what’s your plan?’ to deal with the urgent health challenges facing Aotearoa New Zealand in the lead up to the 2026 General Election. We’ve invited all the current health party spokespeople to be part of the panel.

So far, five parties have accepted the invitation to participate:

• NZ First – Health and Seniors spokesperson Hon Casey Costello
• National Party – Chair of the Health Select Committee Sam Uffindell
• ACT New Zealand – Health spokesperson Todd Stephenson
• NZ Labour Party – Seniors and Mental Health spokesperson Ingrid Leary
• Green Party New Zealand – Seniors spokesperson Dr Lawrence Xu-Nan

We look forward to hearing from other invited parties and we’ll add more details as they’re confirmed.
