UPDATE: Council backs exponentially increasing parking rates

Matt Tso Reporter from Community News

Wellington City Council has approved a policy giving it the authority to impose exponentially increasing parking rate charges.
The first two hours would be charged at a set rate, with an increasing hourly rate kicking in after that in problem areas in the central city.

Update from PHARMAC:

Gemma Elizabeth from Hutt Valley District Health Board

From 1 August, you will be able to get your prescription all-at-once again for some medicines.

Despite this, some medicines will remain on monthly dispensing if they were monthly before 27 March 2020, or if there are supply issues.

Despite this, some medicines will remain on monthly dispensing if they were monthly before 27 March 2020, or if there are supply issues.

If you have remaining repeats ready for collection after 1 August, you do not need a new prescription and you will only need to pay the $5 dispensing fee once.

Check out pharmac.govt.nz/dispensing for more information on restrictions and the medicines that are still on monthly dispensing.

Please remember that the world is responding to COVID-19 and this affects supply chains and manufacturing overseas. Please do not try to ‘stockpile’ your regular medicines. Stockpiling medicines makes it more difficult for pharmacists, doctors and PHARMAC to avoid shortages for everyone.
