39167 (2024). Ingrid Leary to the Minister for Mental Health: Does the Minister agree with Dunedin’s Fern Collective and WEKA peer support worker Holly Brammell that the referral process, for mental health services, is impossible for families at the moment, unless they’re wanting to go private; if so, what, if anything, has he done to help this?

Hon Matt Doocey: I am advised there are a range of mental health and addiction services available across New Zealand, many of which do not require referrals.
