The New Zealand Nurses Memorial Fund was established in 1917 as a tribute to New Zealand nurses who lost their lives on service during the First World War. While Dame Cindy and Dr Davies were in Dunedin, they took the opportunity to meet members of the Fund's committee, and learn more about its work to provide financial assistance to nurses and midwives who are suffering hardship. To be eligible, applicants must be a practising or retired New Zealand nurse or midwife who has completed at least two years of full-time service after registration.
