With the world in the grip of the pandemic, health is at the forefront of voters' minds and concerns.

Watch the debate here:

National health spokesperson Dr Shane Reti and Labour's Chris Hipkins join Checkpoint to discuss how we balance immediate needs in a health crisis against increasing longer term demands on the health dollar, and shed some light on their parties' policies.

Among the known health policies for National so far are a pledge for an upgrade at Hawke's Bay Hospital, and a plan to tackle methamphetamine harm.
