The free National Bowel Screening Programme is here in Counties Manukau
Bowel cancer can develop with no warning signs. Finding it early with the free bowel screening test could save your life.
Within the next two years, everyone aged 60 to 74 who lives in the Counties Manukau area and can receive publicly funded healthcare, will get an invitation letter, a consent form and a test kit.
It’s important that you do the test as soon as possible, and post it back. The test is easy, clean, and you can do it at home.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
