"Plunket checks", or the likes of, should be COMPULSORY for all children and Families. It should be funded. AND if appointments can't be held due to rural locations or transport challenges, they should COME TO YOU. It should be frequent and hopefully save the lives of our future generation by guiding parents and monitoring children's physical health... eliminating illness and ABUSE at home... My heart hurts to know that not all life is treated the same. I know we all have lives and we're not exactly going to drop everything and start charity work, but throwing money at problems doesn't help either? It needs to be face to face, real...and lots of people willing to be human and put a hand in...
