This bill is being created following the Government's recent inquiry into mental health and addiction services, a report that highlights significant action is required in order to start to turn the dial. I have been fortunate in my work before becoming an MP for the North Shore to work alongside passionate clinicians within our forensic mental health unit in my own home electorate under the Waitematā District Health Board. These clinicians do amazing work under what are often very challenging circumstances, and I wish to acknowledge them and thank them for their ongoing contribution.
