Have your say... before the elections!

It’s election year and Arthritis NZ is gearing up for meeting health spokespeople and letterwriting to political parties that are likely to be in parliament.

Many topics related to arthritis care require attention, but of course, not all of these can be covered. Arthritis NZ needs to focus on just one or two topics that are achievable and would have a positive impact on the lives of people living with arthritis.

What will these be? More rheumatologists and shorter waiting times? Better access to mental health and allied health services? Cheaper GP visits for multiple visits? More training for GPs and allied health professionals in rheumatic diseases? Better access to advanced medicines and aids or improved disability services? Or should it be something more personal like home help / working with employers / financial assistance?

This is a chance for you to let us know what you think we should cover. If there is a topic concerning your arthritis that is important to you that you think the incoming government can help with, please fill in the form below and return it to us by post in the enclosed envelope or email your topic to info@arthritis.org.nz.
