The Maori Health Authority is already tracking behind government commitments.
The Hauora Maori Advisory Committee report shows Te Aka Whai Ora underspent by about $66 million in its first financial year.
National's Health Spokesman Shane Reti told Mike Hosking that he's surprised how bad things are.
He says only Maori staff were transferred over from the old DHBs, instead of picking people who had the skills needed.
