    No, Knife Crime Isn’t On The Rise But We Still Need To Fix It

    No, Knife Crime Isn’t On The Rise But We Still Need To Fix It

    It feels like there’s been an increase in the number of knife related crimes in our community lately.And while statistics might show they’re actually on the decline, there’s still more we can do to lower that number even further.

Those medications, known as Hormone Replacement Therapy, might come in a wide array of applications - but what happens when some of them become scarce in supply?

    That’s exactly the predicament many Australian women are finding themselves in at the moment.

    So, why is there a shortage in supply and is it something we’re just supposed to get used to?
