National was going on about the money spent for just 4 more beds.
The issue is that Labour allocated $1.9B to mental health which is ostensibly in crisis, with approximately $230M specifically allocated to build new mental health facilities. Thus far only five acute mental health beds have been added since 2019. Surely there's a few more achievements not being disclosed, but it's not a good outcome given the crisis.

Fair enough.
It will be interesting to see the answers to the questions Little has asked.

It's not just mental health. Wait and see Labour trying to build the new general hospital in Dunedin. It's a disaster in the making. Original planning has involved Dn. Nth MP Stan Rodgers, MP Pete Hodgson, MP David Clark. Hopefully someone with a bit more vision can rescue this before it's too late - but I doubt it. To be built between the two busiest traffic arteries in the city - no parking planned, promised bed numbers already reduced by the architects. The whole project is just unbelievably nuts.

$1.9 billion for mental health & result after 3 years is 5 extra beds!

Of course, facilitiy upgrades etc are being planned and money spent doing that.
This has been probed here already - old article, do keep up.

It needs to be an old article to show how long nothing has been achieved.
