rebrands as Te Tahi Youth
An esteemed health specialist believes the government needs a wake-up call around investment in health care for young people, or face further "funding crises".
Dame Sue Bagshaw's longstanding youth health centre 298 Youth Health in central Christchurch is being rebranded Te Tahi Youth.
