Have after-hours medical centre funding cuts affected you?

Caroline Williams Reporter from North Shore Times

In July, Auckland and Waitematā DHBs announced cuts to subsidised funding at White Cross Glenfield in a bid to minimise inequalities. However, the after-hours prices appear to have increased as a result. Have you been affected by this? How have you been affected? Have these increased prices forced you to A&E where care is free? What have you had to sacrifice to afford after-hours medical care? Email your stories to caroline.williams@stuff.co.nz or comment down below. [Please type NFP if you don't wish to be quoted.]

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟

While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.

We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
