Mum, Wife, and cancer care advocate. In my lifetime I want to see NZ achieve better cancer outcomes - especially for ovarian cancer ❤️

So we're going to have legislation introduced to reverse #smokefree laws that will be passed under urgency, without select committee review, without public consultation, based on false assertions, that experts and officials reject.
This is not how serious govt shd work.

@Stella_DigiHQ Their brand looks like a CoVid car in this photo! Best wishes to all of you at the CDHB Stella.

Day 1 of new normal and car won’t start - AA to the rescue - followed all the protocols of physical distance - I stayed inside and he waved & chatted to me on the phone - fixed in a flash & away he went #essentialservices #COVID19 #StaySafe

@Becs_Hickmott Oh Becky it must be hard, thinking of you. Agree, we are very lucky with our NZ health system.

@DiSarfati The bravest thing we can do is let go of our personal crusades & bias. Redirect this energy & resource and unite for a common set of outcomes. Too many silos. @DiSarfati your appointment is the most hopeful I have been about NZ improving outcomes for whānau impacted by cancer.

World cancer day. What’s the bravest thing we can do in cancer? #IAmAndIWill #cancercontrolagency #worldcancerday

I particularly like the word 'independent' in this tweet. I'm hopeful.
Ministry of Health - Manatū Hauora@minhealthnz
The new independent Cancer Control Agency formally opened today. Improving cancer survival rates in New Zealand is a long term challenge that the Agency will play a big part in helping to turn around. Prof Diana Sarfati has been appointed interim Chief Executive of the Agency.

NZ is to have a Cancer Control Agency to address substandard outcomes, postcode lottery for care and inadequate funding.
A wonderful Father's Day for Dads who have lost loved ones, supported loved ones, are living with and were living with cancer.

Couldn't agree more @NigelLatta and people in our communities will have greater access to more appropriate mental health support. That impact is far reaching. Happy with the #wellbeingbudget would of been damn near perfect if #Cancer care had been mentioned.

FFS I’m sick of hearing people say “there was nothing in the budget for me.” Parents of kids in decile 1-7 schools have no ‘donations’ to pay. That’s a win for all of us right there even if you don’t have kids. So cheer up.

@grantrobertson1 if your #WellbeingBudget had of included something to reduce the incidence and impact of cancer and improve access to treatments it would of been close to perfect. @TheGOKNZ

@NZFinMin @nzlabour @jacindaardern Mmm not sure cheese rolls and wellbeing belong in the same sentence. #Cancer and #wellbeing do though. Here's hoping the fact that we are 19/20 in the #OECD for access to new cancer treatment is addressed in the #WellbeingBudget
English

Annual Budget day tradition of having a good Dunedin cheese roll with PM @jacindaardern. Excited to deliver the Wellbeing Budget this afternoon!


English

Great to see #wellbeing, particularly mental health get the attention it so deserves in the #Budget2019. Feeling hopeful/nervous about what will be in it for #Cancer. Being 19/20 in the #OECD for access to treatment is heartbreaking. #equity for cancer please @jacindaardern

Well done to the Australian government. Come on @minhealthnz, we are lagging behind big time. Our Mums, sisters, daughters deserve better.

@Becs_Hickmott A huge congrats @Becs_Hickmott what a way to end the year. Enjoy Christmas (and sleep).

Four years of hard slog, thousands of cuppas, long, long periods of antisocial behaviour has culminated in 12 hours total sleep past 6 days, loads of tears over wiping out endnote data, and finally it is done #nowtosleep #brainfreed 🤞🙏🏻🤯 ☀️
