We marked the second anniversary of the Whakaari/White Island tragedy this week, and Christmas elves from ‘One Mother to Another’ delivered hundreds of care packages to Christchurch Hospital.

Also, in this edition, the Smokefree Action Plan is announced, the Department of Infectious Diseases reveals a new name and we pay tribute to a much-loved spinal physician.
