53163 (2025). Ingrid Leary to the Minister for Mental Health: What role will iwi, hapū, and Māori health providers play in designing and delivering the harm-reduction and rehabilitation components of the 2025 Action Plan, and will funding be ring-fenced for kaupapa Māori services?

Hon Matt Doocey: I am advised that planning is underway for the procurement of new health services aimed at reducing methamphetamine harm. Discussions have taken place with iwi, hapū, and Māori health providers to understand existing services, and the needs of local communities, to inform the design of harm reduction and treatment services.
