Introducing the Inquiry Panel – Sir Mason Durie, Dr Jemaima Tiatia-Seath, Professor Ron Paterson (Chair), Minister Clark, Dean Rangihuna, Dr Barbara Disley and Josiah Tualamali’i at the handover of the report to the Government on 28 November.
Key findings:
We can do more to help each other
We have a solid foundation to build on
We’re not getting the outcomes we want
Quality of services and facilities is variable
Key components of the system are missing
It’s time to build a new mental health and addictions system on the existing foundations to provide a continuum of care and support.
