Mental Health poll

May 27, 2017

Stuff reports:

Only one out of ten New Zealanders thinks the Government is adequately supporting mental health care.

That’s according to a new poll released on Wednesday for the Public Service Association.

The poll showed 13 per cent of those surveyed thought the Government was doing enough to make sure Kiwis had the mental health care they needed when they needed it.

A further 60 per cent thought the Government wasn’t doing enough and 22 per cent were neutral. Five per cent of respondents weren’t sure.
