Health Minister Simeon Brown's announced 20-million-dollars from Health New Zealand's one-billion-dollar annual uplift will go towards EDs.
He says under the Labour Government, ED performance fell from 89-percent in 2017 to less than 68-percent in 2023.
Brown says performance is already turning around - but more frontline staff is important, to relieve pressure on hospitals.
