Hon ANDREW LITTLE (Minister of Health): I am aware that wait times have increased slightly over the last five years for child and adolescent mental health services around the country; however, this is also consistent with increased access to services over this time period, meaning that more people are receiving support. Child and adolescent mental health services are funded to see children and adolescents up to the age of 18 with the highest level of mental health or alcohol and other drug needs. I have been advised that the Ministry of Health provides DHBs with guidelines on data reporting through its Programme for the Integration of Mental Health Data, known as "PRIMHD"—the data collection programme. However, as this data is collected and aggregated at the DHB level, it's not possible to verify the consistency of the data that the member, in reports made public today, has himself collated. One of the challenges we have in the system about getting accurate data is because of the nine years of underinvestment by the previous Government in IT infrastructure.
