Description: Access to primary mental health services is improving but still has a long way to go.  The Government spent more than $600 million on the Access and Choice mental health programme in the 2019 wellbeing budget.  Te Hiringa Mahara/The Mental Health and Wellbeing Commission says the programme is growing, but the number of patients seen is still below targets.  Around 114,000 people were seen this year, but that's still 40,000 people short of the goal. Mental Health and Wellbeing Commission chair Hayden Wano spoke to Corin Dann.
