Subject: Official Information request - Mental Health waiting times
 
Dear Ministry of Health,

The 2017 Mental Health report
([2]https://www.health.govt.nz/system/files/...)
stated that 47.2% of new mental health patients had their first
appointment within 48 hours, 78% of all DHB patients had an appointment
within three weeks and 93% within eight weeks (pages 23 and 24).

Can you please provide the equivalent data for the 2018 and 2019 years.

Yours faithfully,

David Farrar
