AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Norovirus Watch: Health authorities are investigating a norovirus outbreak linked to Auckland’s Valentines Manukau after 15 people reported gastroenteritis after dining on June 12; Auckland Council and MPI inspected the venue on June 18 and found no food safety breaches, but MPI continues to probe the cause. ADHD Access: Pharmac will fund another methylphenidate brand, Rubifen LA (long-acting), from October to improve supply and give more options for people with ADHD (and narcolepsy funding is also included). Prostate Cancer Caution: The Prostate Cancer Foundation is urging men to think twice about home PSA testing kits, warning they can cause false reassurance or unnecessary anxiety without clinically supervised pathways. Workplace Safety Fight: A political stoush is growing over the Health and Safety at Work Amendment Bill, with Pike River families rallying against changes they fear will weaken protections for smaller workplaces. Emergency Response Boost: St John is seeking approval to sell council land for a new ambulance station in Twizel, citing volunteer shortages and gaps in local coverage. Hospital Build Disruption: Dunedin road users face major central closures from early July as Health New Zealand installs MRI and CT scanners for the new Dunedin Hospital and prepares for further construction. Rates Pressure: Wellington City Council will consider shifting from capital value to land value rates and other changes that could create “winners and losers” ahead of the 2027-37 Long-Term Plan. Health Policy Priorities: The Ministry’s budget priorities continue to centre on health workers and hospitals.
