520			_aThe Mental Health Commissioner found that while growing numbers of New Zealanders are accessing health services for mental health and addiction issues, these services are under pressure and many needs are left unmet. Often services are available to people only once their condition deteriorates, and the dominant treatment options (medication and therapy) do not address the broader social factors that help people be well and support their recovery. The Office of the Health and Disability Commissioner (HDC) is an independent watchdog. Its purpose is to promote and protect the rights of consumers of health and disability services. One of the Office’s statutory responsibilities is to monitor and advocate for improvements to mental health and addiction services. (From the document).
