Doocey MattMATT DOOCEY (National—Waimakariri): Thank you very much Mr Speaker. Well another week and another abject failure in mental health by this Labour Government. After coming in in 2017 raising expectations politicising mental health weaponising suicide statistics—they raised expectations for vulnerable New Zealanders. And what did I learn from writing to the health Minister's office about funding announcements he made two years ago: $235 million for new and refurbished mental health facilities and when I got that back on 14 May it told me that up to April two years since the announcement they'd spent only half a million dollars—$500000 out of $235 million. That's 0.2 percent. We have our mental health facilities running at over 100 percent occupancy. We have vulnerable New Zealanders as patients in those facilities sleeping on the floors sleeping in staff rooms sleeping in kitchens. We have vulnerable New Zealanders leaving mental health facilities and committing suicide and the health Minister and the Government is sitting on $232.5 million that they couldn't spend in two years.And then when they get caught out the spin starts to happen it kicks in. So now we learn Oh it takes five years or so to build a mental health facility. That's why the one that started construction under National in 2015 didn't get opened till 2020." But they forget the then health Minister David Clark at the time went and opened a 38-bed facility in 2018. So it shows you can deliver new mental health facilities in three years. These guys have had four years and they've sat on their hands and the spin continues. The Ministry of Health misled the media yesterday and on Monday. They told the media when the media asked them questions—how much money had been spent?—they said they didn't know. The Ministry of Health said they didn't know yet they could tell me through the Minister's office a couple of weeks before exactly how much money had been spent.The Ministry of Health has got a track record on this because let's not forget not that long ago they misled the public in the mental health annual reports when they stripped out data because they saw it as negative statistics and it would harm the Government's performance and then they had to write to Parliament and say that they accepted they misled the House twice in several weeks. How long are we going to take this from the Ministry of Health before the health Minister takes control and heads must roll? We're not Zimbabwe we're not Myanmar we're not North Korea; this is New Zealand and we should expect public confidence in our health system just like we should expect public confidence in our mental health system.And what did we have last week? Mike King the guy who's put everything into mental health—and he backed this Labour Government; he believed what they said that they were going to deliver transform the mental health system. What did he do last week? He came to Parliament to return his Queen's honour because he couldn't live with it anymore because he's the one dealing on the front line when parents ring him for the services this Government promised and those vulnerable young kids can't access.Then we have Shaun Robinson the head of the Mental Health Foundation one of the biggest advocacies for people with lived experience of mental health. He said the mental health system is worse now. Four years now since this Labour Government took office—things have got worse and all they can do is spin spin their way out of it. They're sitting on a record amount of mental health funding and they can't get it out the door.Then the audacity: the health Minister off the cuff announces a review. Well what a kick in the guts to those New Zealanders who turned up two years ago and told their traumatic and heartfelt stories to that mental health inquiry—all those recommendations you've done nothing about. Then two weeks ago mental health was put in Grant Robertson's new delivery unit. Now that's failed and you need another review—a review a review a review. This Government should hang their heads in shame for the failure in mental health."
