Doocey MattMATT DOOCEY (National—Waimakariri): Mr Speaker thank you very much. The problem with a Labour Government is that whenever they're in Opposition the answer to the voter on every issue is Just put us in Government. We'll fix it." The problem with that approach is that if you just wait to roll round into Government when you finally get there you have no plan and we're seeing that in mental health. Interestingly enough the only thing this Government is going to deliver around a road this term is a roadshow. We're seeing this in mental health where they had an inquiry then they delayed the response to the report and now they've had a Budget announcement in 2019 and they're going out and they're asking the public how they would like to spend that money. No plan—no plan in mental health. You ask the Minister of Health. Currently we spend $1.5 billion on delivering 3.7 percent access to mental health services in New Zealand. Ask the Minister. The access target in the inquiry report was to deliver 20 percent access in five years' time. How much is that going to cost? The Government has no idea. The Government announced a lot in the last Budget. Ask the Government: with all their mental health announcements how much is that going to increase access for New Zealand's population by? They don't have an answer. They talked about mental health in Opposition made it a big election issue said to the New Zealand public "All you need to do is put us in Government and we'll address the issue." and they have no plan. They've announced a new front-line mental health service. Ask the Minister how much that new mental health front-line service will increase access by for New Zealanders struggling with mental health issues and they have no answer. Where is the plan? They talk about nine long years in Opposition. Well what did you do in nine long years of Opposition? SPEAKER: Order! MATT DOOCEY: Where is your mental health plan—SPEAKER: Order! MATT DOOCEY: —for that? Sorry Mr Speaker? SPEAKER: I remind the member that at the beginning of question time—before question time I made a ruling as to the use of the second person. MATT DOOCEY: Thank you Mr Speaker. I'd like to move on also to a press release that came out recently from the Association of Salaried Medical Specialists and the Council of Trade Unions. They're saying in the last Budget that there was a $55 million cut in the ring-fenced funding for district health boards (DHBs) for mental health. That's the Council of Trade Unions saying that—a $55 million shortfall for mental health. So here we have big announcements around mental health and no plan to increase access and now we have a $55 million cut in the ring-fenced funding for DHBs. Mental health is a big issue. Where is the plan after nine years in Opposition? I do want to finish on a more productive note and I just want to acknowledge that next week will be the launch of the cross-party mental health group in New Zealand's Parliament. I want to acknowledge all the representatives—Louisa Wall from Labour; Chlöe Swarbrick for the Greens; Jenny Marcroft for New Zealand First—for getting that over the line with their respective parties and for everyone coming together. We've got Sir John Kirwan who's coming in to launch it next Wednesday in New Zealand's Parliament.You might think that's showing a bit of leadership; I disagree. I think all it is doing is that New Zealand's Parliament is catching up—catching up to where they think Parliament should be responding to mental health; not every three years changing the focus. Think bigger think past the three-year cycle to a longer-term strategy that will address the big issue of mental health. See there are a lot of people who say "Well do we really want to talk about mental health?" But there are a lot of people saying "It's about time."SPEAKER: Order! The member's time has expired."
