How can #measles spread?
Breathe the same air as an infectious person & you can catch it. The virus can linger in the air or on surfaces for up to 2 hours 🕒

📍💉 #Measles #HealthNZ #TeWhatuOra #Immunisation #NZ
WHO and CDC graphic. A child sneezes into a tissue with virus icons around. Text says measles spreads easily when an infected person breathes, coughs, or sneezes.

Her recommendation?

“Access an anger management program like ‘Living Without Violence.’”

Wow.
Just wow.
Good to know that our mental health triage staff are truly up-with-the-play around neurodiversity.

“A Rotorua father who survived stage 4 bowel cancer says the eligibility age for bowel cancer screening tests should be lowered to 35 to “save a lot more lives”.”

I wholeheartedly agree. Lower the eligibility age!! #nzpol #nzhealth #tewhatuora #cancer

Fourth time being denied proper help via Community Mental Health today. It wasn’t helped by the phone screening being one where neither person could understand the other. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Fobbed off back to my GP again. Ugh. Do they even understand autistic burnout?

In a Budget meeting with Craig Rennie. He said that leading economists have said that Health needs $2bn JUST TO STAND STILL. The budget allocates $1.37bn. Don't believe when they say the health service is inefficient. They're destroying it in real-time so they can GIFT IT TO FOR-PROFIT CORPORATIONS.

Ignore the headline.

This message needs to be read and shared. Nothing to do with who is or who isn't Minister.

But whether there is appetite to properly resource ($s and people) a system that has been broken for some time.

Experts say Brown has inherited a broken and 'systemically racist' health system that drives its workers overseas and results in premature deaths of New Zealanders.

What's the easiest way of trying to sneak figures past the opposition in the hopes that you can avoid legit scrutiny... come on Reti, as a doctor, you are supposed to be both smarter and better than this!

The opposition were given the 200+ page report ONE DAY before the hearing rather than the legally required two weeks.
You wanna try getting across a detailed 200 page document in one day? Unfortunately for Reti, Hon Ayesha Verrall did just that and highlighted some dramatic accounting, um, issues.
