Maori mental health services in pipeline
The Health Ministry has asked for proposals for setting up Māori and Pasifika mental health services.
Health Minister David Clark says they’re a key part of the plan to address the long term neglect of mental health services.
The requests for proposals are to expand or replicate existing services, and further RFPs will be released in early 2020 for entirely new services, which health officials are now working with Māori to design.
Work on models of primary mental health and addiction services for youth and rural communities will also start later in the year.
