National's promised to put $200 million towards fighting cancer - if the party makes its way out of opposition.

Leader Simon Bridges has unveiled the plan today during the second day of their annual conference in Christchurch.

He says a National Government will fund an independent Cancer Agency and set up a multi-million dollar fund dedicated to cancer drugs.

He told the Weekend Collective that everyone in the country is touched by.

"People shouldn't have to start a GiveaLittle page, they shouldn't have to move country to get the cancer drugs that people can get in Australia." 

Bridges says that there are big cancer drugs that are funded in Australia that are not speculative and have proven results, but are not funded here.

He says that the Government has the $50 million a year to spend but are spending it instead on programmes such as the Provincial Growth Fund.

The agency would be implemented if National wins the 2020 election, but Bridges insists that is capable despite only polling around 40 per cent.

He says that leaked poll results last week shows that Labour is spooked by the threat of National. 

"Halfway through, they haven't got the confidence, they haven't delivered." 

Asked if they have the coalition partners to get back, Bridges says that NZ First and Greens may not reach the five per cent threshold. He also suggested that a Christian or "true Greens" party might come up organically, but denied that National has any role in setting one up.
