Opening of new baby unit at Waitākere Hospital delayed by power issue
Kia ora neighbours, a new special care baby unit (SCBU) at Waitākere Hospital has not been opened to patients after it was found the hospital’s power supply wasn’t robust enough to run it.
The new unit was officially opened on June 15 in a ceremony with ministers, staff and stakeholders, but babies and their parents are yet to enter the building.
