23657 (2025). Hon Willow-Jean Prime to the Lead Coordination Minister for the Government's Response to the Royal Commission’s Report into Historical Abuse in State Care and in the Care of Faith-based Institutions: What definition, if any, is being used to ascertain admission to the Lake Alice Child and Adolescent Unit?

Hon Erica Stanford: The Lake Alice Psychiatric Hospital Child and Adolescent Unit constitutes the Villas within the wider Lake Alice Psychiatric Hospital site, designated to be the child and adolescent unit, between the years 1972 and 1979. I am advised that evidence of admission has been accepted from Mental Health Records, records from Health NZ (and its predecessors), and records from other sources which include Police files, records of treatment, and previously accepted evidence of admission.
