From Afternoons, 1:25 pm on 6 April 2021

A routine report on the Government's mental health services was delayed for more than a year, and when it was released last week many statistics that were usually included had been removed.

A report by Stuff's Henry Cooke details what went on behind the scenes as officials deliberated on the report's release.

Mental Health Foundation chief executive Shaun Robinson talks to Jesse about what's been going on and how it impacts those who need to access services.
