The Prime Minister's echoing our Foreign Minister's concerns about the World Health Organisation

After the US formally withdrew from the W-H-O last week, Winston Peters posted online saying it calls the millions New Zealand pays for membership into question.

Chris Luxon told RNZ the W-H-O plays an incredible role, particularly in Pacific Islands.

But he says that doesn't preclude the organisation making changes to improve its effectiveness.

He says that's a message for all Government Forums -- especially the UN, which he says needs serious overhauling.
