He is the Minister for Health.[3] Previously he has been Opposition Spokesperson for Small Business and Economic Development.[4] Early lifeClark grew up in Beachlands, just south of Auckland, and was schooled in Auckland.[5] He studied at Saint Kentigern College and spent his last year on a school exchange in Germany, immersing himself in the German language.[1] In 1991, Clark moved to Dunedin to study at the University of Otago. He initially studied medicine but abandoned that in favour of pursuing degrees in theology and philosophy. Clark also studied theology and philosophy at Eberhard Karls University in Tübingen.[1][2] Ordained in 1997, Clark is a Presbyterian minister.[3] He worked as the Assistant Minister at St Lukes Presbyterian Church in Auckland.[2] He was the celebrant at the civil union of MP Grant Robertson.[3] Clark later returned to the University of Otago and completed a PhD on the work of German/New Zealand refugee and existentialist thinker Helmut Herbert Hermann Rex. He has also worked as a Treasury analyst and the warden of Selwyn College at the University of Otago.[3][1] Before his election to Parliament, Clark served as deputy chair of the Otago Community Trust.[3] Member of Parliament{{NZ parlbox header|align=left}}{{NZ parlbox|term=50th |start=2011 |end=2014 |electorate=Dunedin North |list=49 |party=New Zealand Labour Party }}{{NZ parlbox |term=51st |start=2014 |end=2017 |electorate=Dunedin North |list=26 |party=New Zealand Labour Party }}{{NZ parlbox |term=52nd |start=2017 |end=present |electorate=Dunedin North |list=9 |party=New Zealand Labour Party }}{{NZ parlbox footer}} Fifth National Government, 2011–2017After serving as chairman on the Labour Party Dunedin North electorate committee, Clark was selected by the Labour Party to replace the retiring Pete Hodgson in the electorate.[2] He won the seat at the 2011 election securing 12,976 votes (44.25 percent), 3489 more than his closest rival. Clark's maiden parliamentary speech focused on his concern about rising inequality and his passion for social justice. In it, he argued that a more equal society will produce better outcomes, both socially and economically.[6][7] During his time as revenue spokesperson, he drew attention to difficulties the dated Inland Revenue computer system was creating for the organisation, and the small amounts that multinational companies were contributing to the tax base.[8][9][10][11] Clark shot to early prominence as the sponsor of the popular ‘Mondayising’ Bill that saw additional public holidays set aside in years when Waitangi Day and Anzac Day fall on a weekend.[12] This was the first Bill to pass against the Government in four years.[13] Clark completed an Eisenhower Fellowship in 2013,[14] focusing much of his trip on the priority accorded to the values of fairness and freedom in New Zealand and the United States.[15] Clark stood again in Dunedin North for the 2014 general election securing 16,315 votes (46.44 percent), 5917 more than his closest rival National List MP Michael Woodhouse, and thus increasing his majority.[16] Coalition Government, 2017–presentDavid Clark was re-elected in Dunedin North during the 2017 general election, securing 21,259 votes and defeating Woodhouse by 11,754 votes.[17] Clark was elected as a Cabinet Minister by the Labour Party caucus following Labour's formation of a government with New Zealand First and the Greens.[18] He currently serves as Minister of Health and Associate Minister of Finance.[19] In late April 2018, Clark appointed three new chairs to head Auckland's three district health boards: Pat Snedden for the Auckland District Health Board, Judy McGregor for the Waitemata District Health Board, and Vui Mark Gosche for the Counties Manukau District Health Board. These appointments replace Lester Levy, who had headed all three boards and resigned in December 2017.[20] On 30 April 2018, Clark conceded that the Government would be unable to deliver on its election promise of reducing General practioner fees but indicated that it would be introduced in phases over time.[21][22] On 4 May 2018, Clark announced that the Dunedin Public Hospital would be replaced by a new hospital on the site of the former Cadbury factory site and a neighbouring block that included the building occupied by Work and Income. The construction project is estimated to cost NZ$1.4 billion, would involve around a thousand workers, and is expected to be completed by 2026.[23][24] In mid-June 2018, Clark received criticism from employees of the Counties Manukau District Health Board for allegedly trying to silence their reports of run-down buildings, asbestos, and overflowing sewage at Middlemore Hospital. Clark has denied these allegations and expressed criticism for staff communicating through the media rather than through official channels.[25][26] Clark subsequently apologized to Counties Manukau DHB chairman Rabin Rabindran for the handling of the Middlemore saga.[27] That same month, Clark defended the Government's $500 million pay offer to nurses after the national union, the New Zealand Nurses Organisation, voted to go on strike.[28] In mid-July 2018, Clark was forced to publicly defend his decision to go on a family holiday prior to a planned national strike by the Nurses Organisation.[29] On 25 July, Clark in his capacity as Health Minister signed a NZ$173.5 pay equity agreement to pay 5,000 mental health and addiction workers more. Other co-signatories and interested parties included union representatives from the E tū and the Public Service Association as well as the Ministry of Social Development and the Accident Compensation Corporation.[30][31] In late July, Clark announced that the District Health Boards, Nurses Organisation, and the Ministry of Health had successfully negotiated a joint accord to ensure safe staffing levels for nurses.[32][33] In early September 2018, Clark suspended the troubled Oracle IT project to overhaul the District Health Boards' ageing IT systems. The troubled project had cost NZ$100 million.[34] In mid-November, Clark announced that the Government had scrapped plans for a proposed third medical school in the Waikato Region on the grounds that the project would have cost billions to set up and operate.[35][36] On 19 November, Clark also announced that the Government would establish a NZ$20 million new health centre in the South Island town of Westport.[37] Personal lifeClark is married to Katrina, and they have three children. His brother, Ben, stood for Labour in the North Shore at the 2011 election, placing second behind Maggie Barry. During his university years Clark was a competitive cyclist and has twice completed the New Zealand Ironman.[38][39] References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite news |last1=Mitchell |first1=Rob |title=National Portrait: David Clark, Health Minister |url=https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/102696540/national-portrait-david-clark-health-minister |accessdate=23 January 2019 |agency=Stuff.co.nz | work=The Dominion Post |date=8 April 2018}} 2. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite news | url=http://www.odt.co.nz/news/dunedin/128301/minister-standing-mp | title=From minister to standing for MP | date=27 September 2010 | work=Otago Daily Times | accessdate=8 March 2014 | first=David | last=Loughrey}} 3. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web|url=http://www.davidclark.org.nz/about|publisher=David Clark – New Zealand Labour Party|title=About me|accessdate=5 July 2017}} 4. ^{{cite news | url=http://www.odt.co.nz/news/dunedin/247224/rising-star-david-clark-promoted | title=Rising star David Clark promoted | date=26 February 2013 | work=Otago Daily Times | accessdate=8 March 2014 | first=Dene | last=Mackenzie}} 5. ^{{cite news | url=http://www.odt.co.nz/news/dunedin/128301/minister-standing-mp | title=From minister to standing for MP | date=27 September 2010 | work=Otago Daily Times | accessdate=8 March 2014 | first=David | last=Loughrey}} 6. ^{{cite news | url=http://www.odt.co.nz/opinion/opinion/197760/search-more-equal-society | title=In search of a more equal society | date=15 February 2012 | work=Otago Daily Times | accessdate=8 March 2014 | first=David | last=Clark}} 7. ^{{cite news | url=http://www.odt.co.nz/news/dunedin/197789/mp-articulates-his-vision-social-justice | title=MP articulates his vision of social justice | date=15 February 2012 | work=Otago Daily Times | accessdate=8 March 2014 | first=Dene | last=Mackenzie}} 8. ^{{cite news | url=http://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c_id=3&objectid=10843570 | title=6300 caught in IRD privacy breaches | date=29 October 2013 | work=New Zealand Herald | accessdate=8 March 2014 | first= | last=}} 9. ^{{cite news | url=http://www.stuff.co.nz/technology/digital-living/6873923/Glitch-hits-IRD-website | title=Glitch hits IRD website | date=7 May 2012 | work=www.stuff.co.nz | accessdate=8 March 2014 | first=Tom | last=Pullar-Strecker}} 10. ^{{cite news | url=http://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c_id=3&objectid=10850827 | title=Dunne must front up over IRD privacy breaches – Labour | date=29 November 2012 | work=New Zealand Herald | accessdate=8 March 2014 | first=Kate | last=Shuttleworth}} 11. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.3news.co.nz/Labour-slams-Government-over-Facebook-tax-loophole/tabid/1607/articleID/278610/Default.aspx |title=Labour slams Government over Facebook tax loophole | publisher=3 News |date=29 November 2012 |accessdate=8 September 2013}} 12. ^{{cite news | url=http://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/comment/editorials/8438007/Editorial-Strong-case-to-Mondayise-holidays | title=Editorial: Strong case to 'Mondayise' holidays | date=18 March 2013 | work=Dominion Post | accessdate=8 March 2013 | first= | last=}} 13. ^{{cite news | url=http://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c_id=3&objectid=10878134 | title= Mondayising bill passes its final hurdle | date=17 April 2013 | work=New Zealand Herald | accessdate=8 March 2014 | first=Kate | last=Shuttleworth}} 14. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.ch9.co.nz/content/labour-mp-awarded-eisenhower-fellowship |title=Labour MP awarded an Eisenhower Fellowship | publisher=Dunedin Television |date=19 September 2013 |accessdate=8 September 2013}} 15. ^{{cite news | url=http://www.odt.co.nz/opinion/opinion/259502/fairness-hallmark-our-country | title=Fairness the hallmark of our country | date=3 June 2013 | work=Otago Daily Times | accessdate=8 September 2013 | first=David | last=Clark}} 16. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.electionresults.govt.nz/electionresults_2014/electorate-8.html|title=Official Count Results – Dunedin North|publisher=Electoral Commission|access-date=10 June 2016}} 17. ^{{cite web |title=Dunedin North - Official Result |url=https://www.electionresults.govt.nz/electionresults_2017/electorate-details-08.html |publisher=Electoral Commission |accessdate=23 January 2019}} 18. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.radionz.co.nz/news/political/342022/video-who-s-in-who-s-out|accessdate=20 October 2017|title=Who's in?
