Have after-hours medical centre funding cuts affected you?
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: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
