@TaxpayersUnion @PhilTwyford It’s a shame that this tweet has resurfaced- it's incredibly offensive to both those who have experienced a stroke & the impact that stroke has on family & friends. We've addressed this before & sorry to learn that this matter has not been taken seriously https://t.co/5EmWCOeQdQ

1 in 5 New Zealanders have high blood pressure & around 1/3 of these fellow kiwis don’t know it.

We've been working hard to tackle this issue by offering free blood pressure checks across NZ throughout October.

Thanks to all those who have helped us reach thousands this month

We spoke to @NZStuff about the importance of getting a blood pressure check: https://t.co/KnYykdSgRy

We are here to help those who have been affected by stroke. Our Community Stroke Advisors (CSAs) work across the country to support stroke survivors, their families and carers to achieve the best possible outcomes after stroke.

Great initiative from Countdown introducing a ‘quiet hour’ every Wednesday. We think this could also really benefit those who have been affected by stroke and may find the usual bright lights, loud noises and crowds of a supermarket a little overwhelming: https://t.co/Rdbu7L1s2y

Having suffered 2 strokes over 9 years, mum of 3, Natalie, has overcome incredible odds. Natalie worked with one of our CSAs who helped her on the road to recovery and eventually back into work. "I feel very excited. My CSA gave me the confidence to go for it."
