The request was successful.
From: Kasey McDonnell
Dear Minister of Health,
I am investigating, as Youth MP for Wellington Central, the current state of mental health services provided by the state for young people 25 and under.
I would like to request a summary of the services provided to young people by the government in order to treat and service mental health issues. As well as this I would like to request statistical data on the number of under 25 year olds that have used these services each year for the past 10 years.
Yours,
Kasey McDonnell

- a summary of the services provided to young people by the government in order to treat and service mental health issues
