43666 (2025). Hon Dr Duncan Webb to the Minister of Justice: Further to WPQ 39968/25 what was the average cost of reports from psychiatrists or other mental health professionals in each month since January 2024?

Hon Paul Goldsmith: I refer the Member to table 1, attached, for the average cost for psychiatric/psychologist reports, by month, from 1 January 2024 to 31 August 2025. While there are other reports funded by legal aid that may relate to mental health professionals, the nature of these reports is not recorded in a way that is reportable by the Ministry.
