Increased demand reason for weak power supply that delayed baby unit

Melanie Earley Reporter from Western Leader

Kia ora neighbours, a decision to delay the opening of a new special care baby unit at Waitākere Hospital had to be made as increased demand at the hospital meant the power supply wasn’t strong enough to keep it running.

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.

In emails obtained under the Official Information Act, Te Whatu Ora Waitematā (previously Waitematā DHB) said the new unit would now open on August 17.

The emails show on June 27, almost two weeks after the official opening, the DHB’s chief engineer Paul Bancroft notified the facilities services director for the hospital that testing had indicated work needed to be done to ensure a stable supply of power to the unit.
