The Youth of the Nation held their annual New Zea- land conference in Whanganui recently and they need to continue the training of volunteer leaders in lead- ership and those who want to get involved in youth work. This requires fundraising and Ben Hoyle, Pas- tor at Faith Church and the Youth of the Nation group have come up with a ‘productive’ fundraiser – selling horse manure. The manure has been donated by the Riding for the Disabled and group members have been busy shovel- ling it into bags. Springvale Garden Centre is helping out by allowing Youth of the Nation to sell the bags, this Saturday, in front of their store. The cost of the bags is $5 and $10 and judging by the success of previous chicken manure fundraising a couple of years ago, when all bags were sold within 45 minutes, this fundraiser won’t last that long. They will start selling from 8am. Other activities Youth of the Nation get involved in include arranging visits to other centres to promote the annual conference, taking with them speakers and musicians. Ben Hoyle says their goal is to inspire young people to help others and to develop in matu- rity and belief. A range of VWs including Murray’s kombi

WDHB staff set to achieve highest flu vaccination rate to date In early June, you will see a national campaign launched to promote the We are pleased to advise that because more WDHB staff than ever are lining three main signs of stroke through recognition of FAST - Face, Arm, up to receive this year’s flu vaccination. Our overall percentage rate has reached Speech, Time. Developed by the Ministry of Health, the Health Promotion 67 percent (well up on previous years) by late May and we have every chance of Agency and Stroke Foundation, the campaign is designed to help us all lifting this further during the remaining six weeks of our vaccination programme. recognise these signs and to know to dial 111 when we suspect someone The reason we urge our staff to immunise themselves is because the more near us, or even ourselves, is showing the signs of having a stroke. staff who are immunised, the less likely they are to become ill and the less staff we have passing the flu on to our patients, hospital visitors and colleagues. Being vaccinated for the flu is your best defence against catching it - so if you haven’t already done so, book yours in with your general practice or pharmacy today. Remember, flu immunisation is free from primary health care practice nurses for New Zealanders at high risk of complications – pregnant women, people aged 65 and over, and anyone under 65 years of age, including children six months and older, with long-term health conditions such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, respiratory disease (including asthma), kidney disease and most cancers. For further information go to fightflu.co.nz, www.health.govt.nz/influenza, immune.org.nz or call 0800 IMMUNE (0800 466 863).
How are we doing with immunisations overall? In addition to the WDHB’s efforts to encourage staff and the general public to have flu vaccinations, we are very focused on lifting Whanganui district’s immunisation rates for children and pregnant women. While WDHB staff acknowledge parents have the right to decline immunisation, we also recognise that children of those parents only enjoy protection from a number of diseases because of the responsible actions of the parents who have had their children immunised. Please note, National Immunisation Schedule vaccinations are free of charge for children and young people up to the age of 18 with: your local doctor’s practice the weekly clinic (Tuesdays, 9am-5pm) at WRHN’s Heads Road offices the WRHN Manaaki Te Whānau team, phone 0800 775 001 to arrange a time that suits you.
Government announcement on fluoridation change welcomed The WDHB has welcomed Minister of Health Jonathan Coleman’s April announcement that he’s moved responsibility for fluoridating water supplies from local authorities to health boards to try and increase fluoridation rates and combat New Zealand’s high rates of avoidable tooth decay. Clearly our board will need to have full and frank discussion on the subject before decisions can be made but while this happens, we urge you all to look after your teeth. Please make sure you and your families eat and drink sugar free food and beverages as much as possible; make sure everyone in the household cleans their teeth at least twice a day after meals; and very importantly, make sure children and adults in your family attend dental appointments. Having good, strong teeth is important for our health and for our self-esteem. The WDHB will keep the community well informed as to the decision it makes about A key driver behind this campaign is to encourage people to present to fluoridation of our water supply. their doctor or Emergency Department before it’s too late for potential acute stroke thrombolysis treatment which gives stroke patients the opportunity for reducing long-term disability. The campaign will include television, radio and digital advertisements running from early June through to early August. Please take note of it. It could be life-altering or even life-saving, for you or someone you know. Julie Patterson | WDHB Chief Executive Dot McKinnon | WDHB Board Chair
