Dame Cindy and Dr Davies share an interest in the reduction of drug harm in Aotearoa. At last night's reception at Parliament for the New Zealand Drug Foundation Parliamentary Symposium, Dame Cindy thanked clinicians, researchers, harm-reduction practitioners, policy-makers, peer support workers, and the Cross-Party Mental Health and Addictions Wellbeing Group for their commitment to transform the way New Zealand addresses drug issues. Dame Cindy presented gifts to Lotta Dann, MNZM for her work to help thousands of New Zealanders to sobriety, and to Wendy Allison, MNZM, for her work in establishing KnowYourStuffNZ, a licensed drug-testing initiative.
