Te Kōkiri: The Mental Health and Addiction Action Plan has been developed to directly implement Te Tāhuhu – Improving Mental Health 2005-2015: The Second New Zealand Mental Health and Addiction Plan.
Te Kōkiri is the result of extensive consultation with the mental health and addiction sector over the past two years.
The Ministry of Health and District Health Boards jointly developed the action plan and undertook a comprehensive approach to its development.
Purpose
Te Kōkiri: The Mental Health and Addiction Action Plan 2006–2015 sets the next steps for progressing the 10 leading challenges for improving mental health and addiction over the next 10 years. It identifies specific actions, key stakeholders and organisations responsible, outlines milestones/measures and sets timeframes for achieving actions.
All the actions in this plan will have flow on effects for the Ministry of Health (Ministry), District Health Board (DHBs), Primary Health Organisations (PHOs), non-governmental organisations (NGOs) work programmes, and all services and organisations involved in the delivery of mental health services.
