We need your support whaanau to keep ED free for those who really need it. We're providing free consultations to Counties Manukau residents who need urgent care (that’s not life-threatening) at a participating clinic within our rohe from today until Easter Monday, 5 April. The fee waiver includes presentations for medical consultations, ACC co-payments, and repeat prescriptions however, fees outside the consultation can still be charged by the clinic. Check out our website for more information and a list of the 16 clinics: bit.ly...
Remember whaanau – please don’t leave it too late to seek health care if you need it. Your local doctor is the place to go when you’re sick or injured. They will provide you with medical advice, prescriptions and help you to manage any long-term conditions. If you don’t have a family doctor, you can ask family and friends or you can find one in your area on Healthpoint: bit.ly... For more info, visit our website: bit.ly...
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.

2 degrees phone calls dropping out
Hey neighbour's. Sorry, I'm not on social media e.g Facebook so I'm reaching out to you all hoping this is not just happening to me.
Have any of you had phone calls to other 2 degree customers (phones) where in less than 4-5 minutes the call drops out. You call the person back, don't get a ring tone and goes straight to their leave a message and takes a few calls before you get hold of the person again but after again 4-5 minutes, the same thing happens. This is calling another person within NZ. Also, occasionally the call breaks up so you can't understand what they are saying for a few seconds. This us not from not having bills unpaid or anything like that and has been happening since October.
I would appreciate your feedback and experiences and advice on how to get around this or have resolved.
