Hon ANDREW LITTLE (Minister of Health): The $235 million was set aside for the investment into rebuilding or upgrading mental health facilities from the total Vote Health allocation of $1.1 billion for the mental health services upgrade. Health capital projects follow a detailed process, which takes time. This includes prioritisation, business case development, and design work, all before building can start. For example, the original announcement for the full rebuild of the Henry Rongomau Bennett Centre in Waikato said the facility would open in 2023. In relation to what the member says has been spent, the member should be aware that there is a timing difference between what is spent by district health boards on a capital project and what is claimed from the Ministry of Health and booked against the relevant appropriation. Claims for expenses incurred for capital projects are made at relevant milestones—for example, once the detailed business case and allocated funding has been approved, or at relevant times during the financial year. Of the five projects funded from the $235 million allocation, four are on the detailed design phase and one is still awaiting a business case. All are incurring expenditure right now, but only two have sought minimal reimbursement for preliminary work.
