46730 (2024). Ingrid Leary to the Minister for Mental Health: Does he agree with criticism from the NZ Drug Foundation CEO Sarah Helm that the co-funding requirement of the funding model will be particularly difficult for organisations working with drug and alcohol harm due to them generally receiving little private funding, and if not, why not?

Hon Matt Doocey: I am advised by Health New Zealand that interest in the Mental Health and Addiction Community Sector Innovation Fund Future Procurement Notice included interest from alcohol and drug organisations.
