Cannabis cake taken to shared lunch at Hawke's Bay Hospital
RNZ / REECE BAKER
Health Minister Simeon Brown says police are investigating after two staff members at Hawke's Bay Hospital ended up in ED after eating a cannabis cake.
TVNZ reported that the cake was brought to a shared lunch at the hospital on 30 June.
Brown told media the staff involved were administrative staff.
"No clinical staff were involved, but totally unacceptable behaviour. I understand Health NZ are taking it incredibly seriously and police are also investigating," he said.
Brown said he doesn't know if the person who brought the cake to the shared lunch is still employed.
"Ultimately, it's an employment matter and i'm not responsible for such matters, but it's been taken incredibly seriously," said Brown.
He said the staff members who were taken to ED have been treated.

Auckland hospitals at their upper limit
health Auckland Region 21 minutes ago Significant pressure at Auckland's major hospitals this winter is being felt across almost all the different parts of the health system, including at general practice, private urgent care and in the community. The pressure is becoming so great GPs have said they are overwhelmed by the sheer number of people with winter sicknesses. One nurse said the system is so stretched she is seeing sick patients discharged into the community before they're ready. Today Health NZ said the city's public hospitals are at their "upper limit", with many turning up at emergency departments with repiratory illnesses, but said it is not turning patients away in Auckland and Northland. Lucy Xia reports.

Councillor ‘risking health' by ignoring boil water notice
Southland district councillor Derek Chamberlain says there is nothing wrong with the water coming out of his tap. Photo: LDR/supplied The country's water regulator says a Southland councillor who refuses to boil his tap water could be risking his health. However, councillor Derek Chamberlain is standing by his decision to ignore a local boil water notice despite criticism from Taumata Arowai. Chamberlain made headlines this week for saying he would sooner drink from his compromised Eastern Bush/Otahu Flat network than have Auckland water. The district councillor lives on one of 54 properties in rural Southland which has been under a boil notice since July 2024. Taumata Arowai head of operations Steve Taylor said Chamberlain's decision to ignore the notice was not safe, even though he was using a filter. There were a range of factors affecting a filter's ability to remove microorganisms including type, pore size, and whether it was used in conjunction with other treatments like boiling or UV, Taylor said. "Your councillor may feel that their water is fine to drink, but they may be risking their health." A boil notice has been in place for Eastern Bush/Otahu Flat, north of Tūātapere, since July 2024. Photo: Laura Smith / LDR One of the main issues affecting the Eastern Bush/Otahu Flat supply was turbidity - or cloudiness - which became worse when rain dirtied the Wairaki River. Taylor said high turbidity impacted treatment and indicated a higher risk of protozoa, which the supply did not have a barrier to protect against. Even if the water was visibly clear, it could still contain pathogens which could lead to serious illness, he warned. In response, Chamberlain issued the regulator a challenge "If they're that concerned about it, why don't they come down and do something about it?" he said. "My argument's at Wellington. I mean it's alright for them sitting up there bloody making all the rules, someone's got to pay for it." The boil notice was issued in July 2024 and could be in place until as late as 2027 when the treatment plant is upgraded. On Monday, the council issued a reminder to residents that boiling was still necessary. The notice is the only active one across the entire region.

KiwiRail bans 2500 workers from using melatonin, Zopiclone citing safety concerns
KiwiRail says all workers are required to notify their managers or supervisor of any factors which might impair their ability to perform their duties safely, including declaring prescription medications. Photo: RNZ / Samuel Rillstone KiwiRail has banned approximately 2500 of its workers from using melatonin and Zopiclone, citing safety concerns. Melatonin will soon be sold over the counter without requiring a prescription . Rail and Maritime Union health and safety organiser Karen Fletcher said in a recent memo to staff, KiwiRail said workers in safety sensitive roles taking melatonin or Zopiclone would be stood down temporarily. She said the union was not consulted on the decision. "We first heard about it when the staff got in touch with us and said, 'What's this all about?' They've been taking melatonin and Zopiclone for years and even decades, prescribed by a doctor, and sometimes the rail medical doctor. "It came as a shock." She said the staff included in the ban were those in high-risk, front-line roles, who often operated heavy machinery. Many were shift workers who relied on melatonin or Zopiclone to help them sleep, she said. "Shift workers have to sleep at odd times of the day and night, and [sleep medication] has been really helpful for them. "They take it to be fit for work because if they don't sleep, they're at risk of working in a fatigued state." She said the workers often had to shift their start time and sleep time, working rotating shifts. She said the union had not had any issues with workers being impaired from taking sleep aids, and some said taking them made them feel the best they ever had at work. "They're questioning why now, why the change, is there new evidence? "And will people be able to take it in certain circumstances, and what will happen to our members if they're unable to transition off these meds that they've been using for decades in some cases?" Melatonin will soon be sold over the counter without requiring a prescription. Photo: supplied In a statement, a KiwiRail spokesperson told RNZ it made the decision based on advice from its chief medical officer Dr Simon Ryder-Lewis who is an occupational medicine physician. "KiwiRail's chief medical officer has independently reviewed the use of Zopiclone and melatonin by safety critical workers at KiwiRail. This review considered the medical evidence regarding these medications as well as regulatory practices in rail and other comparable industries, both in New Zealand and internationally. "Based on this assessment, the chief medical officer has determined that neither medication is compatible with safety critical work at KiwiRail." KiwiRail said it placed the highest priority on safety and under its Fitness for Work Policy, all workers were required to notify their managers or supervisor of any factors which might impair their ability to perform their duties safely, including declaring prescription medications. The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) also told RNZ it did not generally recommend melatonin for pilots and crew. "We have found the use of melatonin by pilots and cabin crew is usually not useful to manage fatigue and roster-related time zone changes. Melatonin may be approved by CAA on a case-by-case basis for pilots without sleep disorders." Deputy Head of the University of Auckland Department of Anaesthesiology Guy Warman has expertise in sleep, circadian rhythms and melatonin. He said it was common for shift workers, particularly those who work overnight, to feel tired while on shift and have poor sleep while off work. "Shift work presents all sorts of challenges because people are working at times when the body is trying to promote sleep. "People then seek ways of improving their sleep through medication and other means. He said melatonin was different from other sleep medications that acted as sedatives. "It's not really a sleep drug, it's a hormone. "Melatonin is produced by the pineal gland in the brain in very low doses. It naturally acts on receptors in our central biological clock to reinforce our day-night sleeping cycle. "However, in pharmacological doses, it can be taken to shift our biological clock and reduce sleep onset latency, which is the amount of time it takes to get to sleep." He said as long as it was taken in appropriate doses and at appropriate times, the safety effects of melatonin were positive. "The general recommendation is eight hours before doing any work. "The evidence I'm aware of is that the melatonin will be gone before the eight hours are up." He was not aware of any evidence that taking a standard 3mg of melatonin could cause impairment the day after it was taken.
