A new report says funding for Māori mental health and addiction services is unfair, resulting in treatment inequalities for Māori.
The report, by Te Hiringa Mahara, the Mental Health and Wellbeing Commission, says about 30 percent of Māori experience mental distress to the point of mental illness in any year.
It appeals for more funding for kaupapa Māori services - services by Māori, for Māori - to help alleviate these high levels of mental ill health.
To discuss the report, Hayden Wano, Chair of Te Hiringa Mahara/Mental Health and Wellbeing Commission Board spoke to Corin Dann.
