2:20 What to stock in your first aid kit
The home is where we seem to have the most injuries, at least in Auckland according to new figures form ACC.
Almost half of injury claims across the region are for accidents in the homes, so 'The Trusts' West Auckland are donating 70,000 first aid kits to homes in the hope of bringing that number down.
But what does a good first aid kit need to have? The Trusts Chief Executive Simon Wickham is on the line to tell us what they've put in theirs.

For 60 years, Lale Sokolov kept a secret, a secret about the job he held at the Auschwitz concentration camp where he was sent as a young Jewish man in April 1942. For three years, he was the one who used a needle and black ink to tattoo numbers on the arms of new arrivals. The day he tattooed Gita Furman would change his life forever. They fell in love in a place built on hate, survived the camp and settled in Australia.
When Lale Sokolov decided to tell his secret, he chose Heather Morris, a screenwriter from TeAwamutu, living in Melbourne. She talks to us about her debut novel based on their love story, The Tattooist of Auschwitz.
