Waimakariri Health Services

Alan from Rangiora

Copy of a letter to the Editor that I have submitted for Info:
"I see in article on Stuff, that Rangiora is finally going to get a "Community Service Centre" that will offer General Surgery, Orthopedics etc (this is great news, and thanks to Sandra and Paula who worked tirelessly behind the scenes for this outcome), - Common Sense says I thought these services were offered in a Hospital. The need for a 2nd Hospital in Christchurch is well known. The existing Christchurch Hospital is a great facility, and sadly as recent events have shown, well equipped to cope with any emergency.


However; the problems with the existing Hospital are also well known, IE; Capacity (even with the new Acute Services Block been built), Parking, Access to name a few. I note that this new "Facility" is not going to have a Emergency Department. With a Increasing and Aging Population in the Waimakariri (and North Christchurch), this defies Common Sense.



A new Level 4 Hospital in Rangiora would go a long way to address some of these issues."
