Kia ora Georgia, 

 

Thank you for your request under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act), received by the Ministry of Health on 11 February 2025. You requested:


"I am writing to inquire about the current status of the New Zealand Digital Mental Health Strategy. Health Report Number H2024037540 highlights technology as a key system in transforming our current mental health and wellbeing support system. 

I am aware Pae Ora (Healthy Futures) (Improving Mental Health Outcomes) is currently being amended. In the most recent publicly accessible amendment bill for this act, a Digital Health Strategy is absent from the list of Health Strategies. Could you please advise whether creating a Digital Mental Health Strategy is included in Pae Ora? 

I would appreciate any information you can provide regarding the government's forecast for creating a Digital Mental Health Strategy and any proposed ideas of what this may look like" 

 

The reference number for your request is H2025061150. As required under the Act, the Ministry will endeavour to respond to your request no later than 20 working days after the day your request was received: http://www.ombudsman.parliament.nz/.   

 

If you have any queries related to this request, please do not hesitate to get in touch ([email address]).
