Ten year action plan for mental health

Ministry of Health, National

A ten year action plan for the improved delivery of mental health and addiction services has been launched by Health Minister Pete Hodgson.

The plan — Te Kokiri — focuses on providing earlier access to mental health and addiction services and calls for stronger linkages between primary and specialist health services.

Te Kokiri identifies specific measures to improve mental health and prevent addiction. It identifies milestones to be achieved, key stakeholders and organisations responsible to meet these challenges and sets the timeframes for achieving these between 2006 and 2015.
