This winter, St John urges the public to prioritise health & wellbeing. The most important thing you can do is be immunised against influenza and seek advice from a health professional if you are unwell. Each winter the surge of 111 ambulance calls continues to increase, which despite St John’s best efforts to triage and treat people in-home, places a lot of pressure on the ambulance service and the hospital emergency departments.
St John has issued five key messages to the public to help them look after themselves and each other this winter – read them here: goo.gl...

The incidence of bowel cancer in younger adults is rising in New Zealand. 10% of bowel cancer patients are under 50 – that’s more than 300 a year. Each year about 3,000 New Zealanders are diagnosed with the disease and more than 1,200 will die. That’s as many as breast and prostate cancer combined.

They seem to put them in place at the start and end of a days work. Regularly about a 2 kilometer stretch at a time. Oh for the days of the Ministry of Works. at least they would only have 70kph speed limits for the area that they were immediately working on and would uplift them when not working.
Isn't it illegal to leave signs up when not physically working on the road, unless no white lines repainted..
I see there are 70kph signs at the approach to the Waitaki river bridge.the so called patch on the road is no worse than the rest of SH1.
