44711 (2024). Ingrid Leary to the Minister for Mental Health: What did the Minister mean in answer to WPQ 37422 that "work is underway to determine the uplift in order to meet specific cost pressures, including mental health funding" and does that mean he doesn’t know how much money is allocated to mental health in Budget 2024?

Hon Matt Doocey: I am advised that Health New Zealand is currently working with its Commissioner to finalise the 2024/25 budget, and is unable to provide any details until that work is complete.
