New visitor restrictions now in place at Middlemore Hospital

The Team from Counties Manukau Health

Now that we're moving back to Alert Level 3, changes to our visitor policy are now in place for Middlemore Hosptial and our other DHB sites. Here's our Chief Executive Fepulea'i Margie Apa breaking down our visitation restrictions.

- Visiting is only on essential and compassionate grounds or birthing partners.
- Whaanau wishing to visit a patient on compassionate grounds will need to contact the lead clinician or the ward's charge nurse in advance.

We understand this is difficult time when you can’t visit your loved ones in hospital, but it’s important that we keep our patients and staff safe during this time. For more information on our visitor policy, please visit our website: countiesmanukau.health.nz

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
