Today is Conversations that Count Day, and Associate Health Minister Peter Dunne is urging New Zealanders both young and old to talk about the kind of care they would want if they were seriously ill or at the end of their life.
Conversations that Count Day, organised by the National Advance Care Planning Cooperative, urges people to break the ice and talk about future health care wishes with ‘your partner, a mate, with friends over lunch, or around the weekend barbie’.
