Register now for pre-election political panel on the health challenges facing New Zealand
Alarming research shows three New Zealanders develop dementia mate wareware every hour and this is only set to get worse.
Alzheimers NZ is hosting a pre-election political panel in September, and you can register now to join us!
We want to know how the parties plan to deal with the urgent health challenges facing New Zealand, and we want to give you the chance to ask your burning questions.
We’ve invited all the current health party spokespeople to be part of the panel. So far, three parties have accepted the invitation to participate:
- NZ First – Health and Seniors spokesperson Hon Casey Costello
- National Party – Chair of the Health Select Committee Sam Uffindell
- ACT New Zealand – Health spokesperson Todd Stephenson
We look forward to hearing from other invited parties.
“If Government doesn’t act urgently, they risk continuing to overwhelm our health and aged care systems – and the impact on whānau, communities and the economy will continue to grow,” says Alzheimers NZ Chief Executive Catherine Hall.
“It’s only set to get worse with our ageing population, so we need to bring this to the attention of decision makers. We do hope you’ll join us for what I’m sure will be a lively evening of debate.”
The panel will be held on Tuesday 1 September from 6pm to mark the start of World Alzheimers Month. Our 2026 conference will be held at the end of the month.
