ONE NEWS: National's questioning why there needs to be at least eight different government programmes encouraging people to eat healthier and exercise more.
John Key is vowing to re-prioritise the funding spent on anti-obesity campaigns onto programmes aimed at getting children into sport.
The party has released their policy on children and sport, an issue he says is a priority.
Key says sport is an important part of growing up in New Zealand, and not enough of the government's funding is getting through to where it's needed.
An example of bureaucracy is shown by SPARC's budget over the next three years of $315 million, where around a third of that will be spent on administration costs, Key points out.
Key says a National government would bring in a shift in emphasis and reprioritise government funds currently dedicated to a host of bureaucratic anti-obesity campaigns.
He says schools will be supported to ensure they continue to provide physical education classes, but there will not be an increase in the amount of PE classes they need to provide.
