What you need to know about tomorrow's nurses strike
Waikato Hospital has been emptied out and will be reduced to essential services on Thursday as thousands of nurses and healthcare workers stop work. The industrial action will run from 7am Thursday for 24 hours.
What you need to know:
• Waikato DHB will be contacting patients directly to advise them of any changes. We ask that patients come to their scheduled appointment on time unless we have contacted them directly to say their appointment is being rescheduled.
• On the day of the strike, people should still go to hospital if the matter is urgent. Dial 111 for emergencies or an ambulance.
• Anglesea Accident and Urgent Medical, Gate 1, corner Thackeray, Anglesea St, Hamilton, will have extra staff on during the strike.
• Otherwise people should visit their GP or a local pharmacy.
• Free medical advice is available 24/7 at 0800 611 116.
