Mental health and addiction inquiry releases report

From Afternoons, 1:23 pm on 4 December 2018

A long-awaited report has been released detailing more than 40 recommendations about how to improve New Zealand's mental health and addiction services.

The inquiry was established early this year and had a broad remit, including improving access to services among Māori and other groups disproportionately affected by mental health and addiction issues.

Professor Max Abbott from the National Institute of Public Health and Mental Health Research joins us with his reaction.
