ANNA LORCK to the Minister of Health: What recent announcements has he made on new crisis mental health and addiction services in Hawke’s Bay?
DEBBIE NGAREWA-PACKER to the Associate Minister of Housing (Māori Housing): Does he have concerns that homeownership is becoming unattainable for Māori, given that Māori individual homeownership has fallen to 26 percent in the latest census and that European New Zealanders have net worth almost five times higher than Māori?

TĀMATI COFFEY to the Minister of Tourism: Will quarantine-free travel with Australia provide an economic boost to the New Zealand tourism industry; if so, how?
MATT DOOCEY to the Minister of Health: Does he agree with Mental Health Foundation Chief Executive Shaun Robinson, who said in response to the recently released annual report of the Director of Mental Health and Addiction Services, “It beggars belief that they are not reporting on the very thing they are trying to improve as a top priority. If the data is there why not continue to publish it in the report where people are used to seeing it? I cannot for the life of me work out why they would not do that – you are making the whole situation less transparent”; if not, why not?

DAVID SEYMOUR to the Prime Minister: Does she stand by her statement relating to the COVID-19 vaccine roll-out, “Our focus in those early days has been just getting people vaccinated rather than focusing heavily on reporting systems and dashboards”?
