Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Soggy Bottom Holding owner and butcher Jono Walker sells at the Hamilton and Cambridge farmers’ markets every week.

At the time of writing his $24-a-kilo mince price beats two out of three major supermarkets.

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Less than half of cardiology referrals to Waikato Hospital were accepted last year, as new data paints a grim picture of people struggling to access specialist care in multiple areas.

GP representatives warn the situation is getting worse, leaving patients in “horrible" pain as they attempt to manage symptoms through primary care, or turning to private healthcare if they could afford it.
