Keep the Emergency Department Free
The Counties Manukau region is currently experiencing high volumes of people going to hospital Emergency Departments which is causing long wait times.
The number of people coming to the ED at Middlemore Hospital for non-emergencies is rising and we need our communities support to keep the Emergency Department free for those who need it most.
ED’s are there primarily to treat those whose condition threatens their life or limb.
Unless someone is experiencing an emergency, we are asking them to visit their local GP or Urgent Care clinic.
This will enable our busy ED staff to focus their time and resources on patients who have life threatening emergencies.
Help us to help you, your friends, your whaanau and our community.
Let’s keep the ED Free!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
