We want to know what things you think needs to happen so that we can have the best possible health system. This will help us work together to make the changes we need to, to ensure our health system works as well it can when people need it, now and into the future.

You can tell us anything you think we need to change, but a question you might want to think about is:

• What needs to change in Aotearoa for us to have an ideal health system?

You do not have to talk about the health system, you could think about changes to anything that would help the health system be better.

You can also look through other ideas and comment and support them.
