The free National Bowel Screening Programme is here in Counties Manukau
Bowel cancer can develop with no warning signs. Finding it early with the free bowel screening test could save your life.
Within the next two years, everyone aged 60 to 74 who lives in the Counties Manukau area and can receive publicly funded healthcare, will get an invitation letter, a consent form and a test kit.
It’s important that you do the test as soon as possible, and post it back. The test is easy, clean, and you can do it at home.

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)
