8006 (2026). Hon Kieran McAnulty to the Associate Minister of Housing: Further to his reply to Question 594 (2026), does he stand by that answer given his subsequent confirmation in reply 5425 (2026) that he has had no specific discussion on the mental health and addiction facility data identified in the September 2025 homelessness insights report?

Hon Tama Potaka: Yes I stand by my reply. There has been no specific discussions on mental health and addicition facility data. Rather I have had multiple discussions with relevant ministers about the complex needs and circumstances of those experiencing homelessness including mental health and addiction.
