We're moving to Clinical Appointments
Counties Manukau Health to move to telephone appointments.
We are now switching to telephone outpatient clinic consultations from healthcare providers at Middlemore Hospital and the other clinic sites such as Manukau, Botany or Pukekohe clinics.
Please do not come to clinic appointments unless we contact you by phone.
You should only come to your outpatient clinic appointment if you have received a telephone call advising you to come.
Patients who have not been advised to come to the clinic will be sent a text or we will telephone you to advise an approximate time we will call – for example, sometime between 10-11am or 2-3pm.
However, if the doctor, nurse or therapist decides a face to face consultation is required, this will be arranged with staff wearing the appropriate clothing.
These telephone consultations are designed to keep everyone safe from
potentially catching the Coronavirus (Covid-19).

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.
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
