Visitor Guidance for Counties Manukau Health
At Counties Manukau Health, our patients’ health and wellbeing is our number one priority.
That includes making sure they get enough rest.
To enable high-quality care, and for the overall health of our patients, we must balance the needs of our patients and visitors.
To achieve this we have introduced flexible visiting. This means:
● One key support person who may visit between 8am – 8pm
● Overnight visiting (8pm – 8am) – compassionate grounds only
● Visiting hours for whaanau are 2pm - 8pm – two visitors per patient
● No children under 16 years – unless approved on compassionate grounds
● Take away food for patients must not be brought onto the premises
● Registration of visitors will occur at hospital entrances
We ask if you are unwell, do not visit.

Here at The Doctors we would love to hear how you prefer to book your doctor’s appointments. With busy schedules, different people find different methods easier.
For some, online booking is very convenient, you can make an appointment anytime without needing to wait on the phone. Others still prefer calling the clinic and speaking to a real person, especially if they have specific questions about their visit.
Your feedback helps us understand what works best for our patients and how we can improve access to care.

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
34.1% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
64.8% No, I enjoy it
-
1.1% Other - I'll share below
