Kia ora neighbours, a new special care baby unit (SCBU) at Waitākere Hospital has not been opened to patients after it was found the hospital’s power supply wasn’t robust enough to run it.

The new unit was officially opened on June 15 in a ceremony with ministers, staff and stakeholders, but babies and their parents are yet to enter the building.

A spokesperson for Te Whatu Ora, Health New Zealand, said while it had been “hoped” the unit would be up and running by now, work was needed to boost electricity so the unit and the rest of the hospital could all run together.

“The commissioning process identified the need for the hospital to adjust the switchboards to ensure a robust power supply to all services in the area.”
