Dear Kate McIntyre

Thank you for your request of 11 April 2019 as follows:

Please provide me with the total funding allocation for mental health
crisis teams per annum, as far back as records permit.

I am writing to seek clarification on this request. By way of background,
crisis assessment teams are funded by each district health board (DHB).
DHBs are responsible for funding allocations to crisis assessment teams
based on the needs of their resident populations. The Ministry of Health
does not hold precise information on crisis team funding.

In light of this, your request as it is currently worded may be refused
under the provisions of the Official Information Act. Would you like to
refine your request? Please note that you may also direct Official
Information Act requests about funding directly to DHBs.

Please let me know how you wish to proceed.

Sincerely,

Sarah-Kate Oosterbaan
