Prescription Fees during lockdown .?

Stephen from Pakuranga Heights

Hi everyone . Hope you are all well during this lockdown . I need a repeat prescription for my medication. Pakuranga Medical Centre say I need to book a phone consultation to get it ( charged at the normal consult fee . ) I have been on the same medication for 4 years ; no problem . Why do I need to pay for this , as I am otherwise well. My doctor will just just ask how I am , I’ll say fine and then charge me $45 . Is this fair ? What are your thoughts ?

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
