The 1988 Mason psychiatric report, otherwise known as the Gallen inquiry, was noted as being into "procedures used in certain psychiatric hospitals in relation to admission, discharge, or release on leave of certain classes of patients." Judge Mason, importantly, in this 1988 report noted the need for bicultural services particularly to serve Māori, because the Western model—he noted at that point in time; the 1980s—did not acknowledge the breadth of hauora, of culture, of identity and the importance of recognising where somebody comes from, their environment, and who they are, as to how they behave in the world.
