Changes to GP visits at TToH
An important message for whānau about changes to GP visits.
At Hauora Heretaunga, we’re always looking for ways to make it easier for whānau to get the care and support you need -- when you need it.
So, from June 1, there will be no more walk-in queues for whānau wanting to see a GP urgently.
All you need to do is phone Hauora and ask for a call-back by your GP.
Your GP will ask you some questions.
They might be able to give you all the help you need over the phone, and save you a trip to Hauora.
If not, they will arrange for you to come and see them –
or someone else in your medical care team.
This change is to help us ensure that whānau get to see the right person at the right time.
We look forward to working with you.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.8% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.9% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
