Hon ANDREW LITTLE: What I think is a good starting point is to accept that there has been a global pandemic that has affected New Zealand. That resulted, following the announcement in February 2020, in a four-week lockdown nationwide, multiple lockdowns, particularly in Auckland, on a number of occasions following that. That has, as I said in the answer to the primary question, significantly delayed the roll out of this project. Now, I know that on "Planet National" you can sort of magic up things and things sort of work as if pandemics don't have an effect, but they do have an effect. This Government has made the investment in mental health that was long overdue, because we are serious about rising to the mental health challenge of this country. Our clinical leaders and officials in the Ministry of Health have a programme to assist DHBs to manage mental health patients in a more effective way, to encourage more community treatment where that is possible, to free up more spaces in the acute facilities, and, as part of the programme as well, to upgrade those acute facilities so there is more room to meet demand.
