Hon ANDREW LITTLE (Minister of Health): The Budget 2019 mental wellbeing package provided funding to develop the mental health and addiction workforce. This investment has supported a range of new training programmes and placements, both to grow and to upskill existing workforces and to develop new workforces. For example, I'm happy to report that 46 additional bursaries for Māori students were offered in 2021, and 96 percent of these places have been filled. This is on top of the 80 bursaries that were already filled in 2021. The bursaries are provided through the Te Rau Puawai programme to encourage Māori into mental health - related degree programmes at Massey University, which would increase kaimahi Māori in the mental health workforce. I'm also happy to report that we're on track to provide 30 scholarships for Pacific students—77 percent of these scholarships have already been awarded. These scholarships contribute to tuition fees for students who are undertaking a course in full-time or part-time medical and mental health or disability - related studies.
