Dispensing of Prescription Medication
It will be helpful for you to know that when PHARMAC directed pharmacies to dispense just one months supply of meds on the usual three month prescription, they have also allowed an exception to this directive for...(1) anyone who has mobility problems. (2) anyone who lives rurally at some distance from a pharmacy. (3) anyone with a compromised immune system. (4) the eldery. This means that you if you fall into any of these catagories you can ask your pharmacy for the full three months of meds, so that you only have to make one trip to the pharmacy instead of three trips. Stay safe everyone.
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)
.
