Longer prescriptions are here

Health NZ

Some people with stable, long-term health conditions may be able to get prescriptions that last up to 12 months.

People with a 12 month prescription will still collect three monthsโ€™ supply of medicine at a time, from the pharmacy.

Ask your doctor if 12 month prescriptions are right for you.

Poll: Tightening the belt at the pump ... How are you pivoting? ๐ŸšŒ๐Ÿšฒ๐Ÿ 

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Between the headlines about the Strait of Hormuz and the creeping costs at our local stations, the "fuel crisis" has moved from the news to our wallets.

A recent opinion piece in The Post suggested that Wellington Councils should be shifting our public facilities to renewable energy ASAP to keep our rates from being vulnerable to these global fuel hikes. Itโ€™s a big conversation for the city, but what about your daily commute?

We want to know: With fuel prices staying high for the foreseeable future, are you changing how you get around the capital?

Got more greens than you know what to do with? ๐Ÿฅฆ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿฅ•

Whether itโ€™s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, donโ€™t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? ๐Ÿซ
