Taranaki Adult MH&A Continuum Project

The Mental Health and Addictions Adult Continuum Project has been completed with sign off on the final report. The project was ambitious in its objective to include all of the MH&A services across the entire continuum. The service mix and pathways are multi-tiered and complex and as a result a number of emerging red flag areas and corresponding key recommendations and actions were included. Next Steps - over the next month the recommendations and necessary actions will be formalised through a work plan in conjunction with the sector to support implementation.

Deirdre Mulligan, Consultant Project Manager and Jenny James, Portfolio Manager, Taranaki DHB would like to thank all of the participants to date to get this stage of the work to completion.
