 Budget 2022 Initiatives

Seven projects have been selected by Te Whatu Ora and Te Aka Whai Ora to deliver additional care and support for people within priority groups living with dementia mate wareware, their whānau and carers. These special initiatives were made possible because Budget 2022 set aside $12 million to support some Dementia Mate Wareware Action Plan projects.
