Get tested for hepatitis C
A new, free and easier treatment for all types of hepatitis C is now available and can be prescribed by your family doctor. This treatment can cure the disease.
Hepatitis C is transmitted by blood-to-blood contact. The most common way of contracting hepatitis C is through intravenous drug use, but there are many other ways people can get the virus, from receiving medical treatment overseas, to getting a tattoo.
Go to www.gethepctested.co.nz... to find out if you are at increased risk of having hepatitis C. If you think you are, ask your family doctor for a blood test.

Dead cat
I saw a dead cat on Everglade Drive this morning near the crossing of Keri Anne place. It had been placed near the pavement. Black and white colour. Young. Did not look like it had been dead too long. If you know anyone who is looking for a cat, please inform.
