you hear versions of this on site and in the office all the time.. the zealand part is what ppl will argue about. Execution is what will decide whether this helps.
Bloody typical, government dragging its feet again while kids suffer. My mate's kid has been waiting months for a specialist.
yeah but like, how long is the wait? I've seen both sides
It's heartbreaking seeing so many children struggle. We really need to do better for our tamariki ❤️
agree, every child deserves a healthy start
I dunno, is it really that slow? Genuine question, what are other countries doing differently?
has way better school health checks, that's one example
My daughter's asthma got so bad last winter because of the mould in our state house. This is a crisis.
mould is a disgrace, landlords get away with murder
the lack of action on rheumatic fever is shocking eh. We know what works but nothing changes
exactly, we know the solutions but no political will
We need more funding for primary care, not just hospitals. Prevention is key.
FFS, another report that'll sit on a shelf collecting dust.
this is exactly the kind of thing younger people notice quickly. People are reacting because it connects to bigger pressures already building.
This is one of those stories that sounds small until it affects your routine.. everyone's gonna dogpile the zealand bit NZ Herald group chat is gonna go off. It would be nice to see a version that is actually simple for people.
You can see why this gets traction with students and renters.. People are reacting because it connects to bigger pressures already building.
