From the Office of the Auditor-General - presented to the House of Representatives under section 20 of the Public Audit Act 2001, February 2024
"Mental health is the most significant health issue facing young New Zealanders today. Investing in early intervention services and support can help young people experiencing mental health concerns achieve their potential and reduce the lifelong human and economic impacts of mental illness.
The Government spends about $2 billion annually on mental health services. In the 2019 Wellbeing Budget, young people were one of the groups the Government’s $1.9 billion investment into mental health and well-being focused on.
We wanted to know whether this government spending was making a difference for young people aged 12 to 24 years." (From the website). Record #8544
