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.

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.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

Public Transport fares face 70% increase..

Mike from Alicetown

Wellington region users says increases to public transport fares of more than 70 percent would be "ludicrous", and would lead to them working from home more often, or taking the car rather than the bus.
