Northland is a big, and diverse, rural community. It needs aggressive advocacy now, to keep and enhance the Health Services we have. I have spent half a lifetime representing and advocating for Rural communities in various capacities, including National Office of Federated Farmers, and twelve years as a Kaipara District Councillor, the last six years as Deputy Mayor. I know what is required to have one's voice heard. This experience, together with service on a number of boards has given me a good understanding of governance, an essential attribute for effective participation on District Health Boards. My wife and I have been farming here for 37 years, and from personal experience of Northland's Health service, know the importance of bricks, mortar and technology, coupled with good care, prevention and community involvement.
