43711 (2024). Ingrid Leary to the Minister for Mental Health: Does he agree with Health New Zealand Te Whatu Ora Quarterly Performance Report - 1 January to 31 March 2024 that challenges with reporting, such as not receiving reporting from some districts, may have contributed to the decrease in access to primary mental health; if so, what, if anything, will he do to address this?

Hon Matt Doocey: I am advised that Health New Zealand is focused on improving data flow and access to data to ensure that reporting on national performance measures for mental health services is timely and accurate.
