48011 (2024). Ingrid Leary to the Minister for Mental Health: Has a national Mental Health and Addiction Clinical Network been established to drive change through the development of consistent national standards, models of care and by reducing unwarranted variation in service provision, access and outcomes; If so, when was this established?

Hon Matt Doocey: I am advised that Health New Zealand's National Clinical Networks team is working to establish the National Clinical Network for Mental Health and Addiction, with particular reference to identifying leadership for the network. We expect the full network to be operational, with leadership and membership during October 2024.
