In New Zealand there is no cost to the person who receives a prescription/order form from the dietician. This is funded under primary health. For example if a person requires incontinence products, these are funded by primary health.

Ensure is a meal in a can that the nutritionist/dietician prescribe to people here in New Zealand to maintain daily nutritional requirements. comes in vanilla, strawberry and chocolate. it is a way of maintaining a level of energy whilst you are unable to tolerate food.
