It’s a fact: school lunches reduce hunger and food poverty, boost nutrition, learning, health, wellbeing, and support learning. It’s not rocket science - hungry kids can’t learn.

This is a great qpi metric for colon cancer. Same work done in NZ and variation less stark but still present

Good to hear David Seymour in today's Herald saying #CancerAgency drug list will be updated before funding rolled out -- the list that National based their policy on is 18 months old.

Lift PHARMAC's funding and let them do their job!

(PS we need more staff to deliver this too)

Wait, what? Govt talking points on #Smokefree weren't evidence based, or supported by official advice?

What then were the reasons for repealling smokefree? Couldn't have been #BigTobacco influence, could it??
