Mobile Breast Screening Service
Breast Screen Midland will be bringing the mobile breast screening service to the Western Community centre.
From Thursday, 18 March to Friday, 9 April.
To have a free mammogram every two years women
must be aged between 45 and 69 years, have no symptoms of breast cancer and have not had a mammogram in the last 12 months. Must not be pregnant or breastfeeding.
Must be entitled to public health services in New Zealand
Having a mammogram every two years is important – early detection is your best protection.
Make your appointment with a friend – you can support one another.
Relax with a cup of tea or coffee at the Centre afterwards.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
