To meet growing demand for specialist mental health services in the Northern Region, a new $22 million, 15-bed medium secure unit is expected to open at the Mason Clinic in late 2020.
Work is now underway on the new-and-improved unit named E Tū Tanekaha (stand strong Tanekaha), which will replace a smaller 10-bed unit that was no longer in use due to weather tightness issues and was demolished earlier this year.
