Mental Health and Wellbeing Commission gets to work
Minister of Health Andrew Little has congratulated the inaugural Mental Health and Wellbeing Commission and its board, as the Commission marks its first day as an independent Crown entity.
“This is a very significant day for the Commission,” said Andrew Little.
“Its members will be dedicated to contributing to better and equitable mental health and wellbeing outcomes for all people in New Zealand. The inaugural Commission has a strong board to support the Government’s goals around mental health and wellbeing and I want to wish chair Hayden Wano and his team all the best for their mahi which lies ahead.
Glasgow, Scotland
– Gordon Brown’s sporadic interventions into British politics usually signal one thing: The rise of pro-independence sentiments in Scotland have reached critical levels of unionist concern.
So when the former British prime minister, born and bred in Scotland and forged in the unionist ideals of the Labour Party, last month warned that the United Kingdom could become a “failed state”, many fellow unionists sat up and took note.
Despite rejecting sovereignty by 55-45 percent in Scotland’s 2014 independence referendum, during which time the ex-Labour Party leader made several important interventions on behalf of the union, recent polls have indicated Scots are now ready to abandon the British state in favour of going it alone.
