8004 (2026). Hon Kieran McAnulty to the Associate Minister of Health: Has he seen the finding in the September 2025 homelessness insights report regarding the increase in the number of nights spent in mental health and addiction facilities by people reported as homeless between June 2024 and June 2025, and if so, what discussions, if any, has he had with the Associate Minister of Housing about this issue and what steps, if any, has he taken in response?

Hon Matt Doocey: Yes. The report shows an increase in access to mental health support for people who are experiencing homelessness.
