Contracts leaked as minister intervenes in Health NZ’s spat with mental health providers
- Mental Health Minister Matt Doocey has told Te Whatu Ora to work better with its community health services.
- Contracts for many mental health providers set to expire within weeks, but they’re now being asked to agree to new terms.
- Labour calls those new contracts “draconian”, given the power it could give to Te Whatu Ora.
Unbelievable – is Mental Health Minister Matt Doocey in charge of his organisation? Why are they causing te mental health sector anxiety and depression over new service contracts more focused on being able to claw back (and punish) for unspent funds than the actual mental health of those seeking help?
This is exactly like the attempt to destroy Segar House where the Minister was kept in the dark…

Private hospitals want 10-year contracts to give them more certainty and so they can invest yet mental health providers have three-year contracts and they are being renewed at the last minute many with twinks to their contracts, sounds like double standards or someone is talking with a forked tongue.

Banning puberty blockers in kids would help mental health but Doocey doesn’t have the balls.
Maybe he’s had the op?
Looks like Doocey has had one of those cosmetic tattoos on his face to appear smiling at all times. I could be wrong but I am sure the thought is there.
I am amazed how many comments on these blogs refer to how people look and not what they are doing for their portfolio our country.
He’s doing shit Trevor, read the room, I’m amazed you can’t, oh but I’m not really!
