Mental health nurses relocated out of Manukau police district custody unit
Mental health nurses have been based at the Counties Manukau police district custody unit since 2008 as part of the watch-house nurse pilot initiative.
However in December 2018, the two full-time nurses were moved to the core Intake and Acute Assessment team based off-site at Counties Manukau Health. The Counties Manukau DHB said the move was due to staffing pressures and fewer presentations of acute mental health situations requiring a nurse. But a leading barrister is warning the removal of mental health nurses increases the likelihood of another tragedy occurring, following the death of Sentry Taitoko in the cells in 2014.
Do you think the nurses should be put back in the cells? Let us know in the comments.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
