David Clark, Health Minister, has appointed 13 new Health Board Chairs, four are Maori, why even mention that fact, if not using it as a political football for the coming election?

It matters not which ethnic group a person comes from if a person is suitable for the position.

Jacinda's ‘We are One'? Until Election time? We need a national health system for everyone be they red, black, pink or tartan.

The system now is a game for most political parties, give into those who make the most noise, that you wouldn't put up from your children, give anything to gain power, that's the name of this game.

Vote only for the party that believes ‘we are one' and acts on it.

Some want the present situation to last forever.

R Chamberlain, Tauranga.
