Radiographers to strike - Are you affected?
Staff at Gisborne Hospital's radiography department are striking from today to Saturday and again on Monday, November 4.
It's said that people who are clinically stable may have to wait longer to have their X-ray or scan, but anyone who needs emergency care during the strike will receive it.
People who need health advice or care should continue to make their general practice team their first port of call 24/7. Alternatively call 0800 611 116 for advice and information from a registered nurse. However, always call 111 in an emergency.

Respite care when you need it
From rehabilitation after a hospital stay, to a little extra support, whether it’s for a few nights or a few weeks - respite care provides temporary care in a range of circumstances.
If you still live in your own home, a short stay at one of our care centres could be a welcome break from your usual routine.
Our respite care is offered at rest home-level care, hospital and specialist dementia care. In some circumstances, we may be able to offer you respite care in a serviced apartment.
If you've been thinking about moving to a Ryman care centre, spending time with us in respite care is a great way for you to experience the lifestyle in our villages before making your decision.
