Join us online for our Waikato Disability Community Health Forum
Kia ora, we’re holding a Waikato Disability, Whānau Hauā Forum, and would like you to join us.
At Te Whatu Ora - Health New Zealand we want to hear your thoughts on health and well-being, and on local health services.
To help us with this, join our friendly online forum and share your knowledge and experiences with us so we can improve services for people living with a disability / whānau hauā, and enable information sharing.
As part of this, we’ll update you on key health and disability services related matters, and emerging initiatives.
Topics include - Local community feedback and discussion on the new health system and localities.
We are also going through an organisational change process currently and will share more about this with you.
Waikato Regional Disability Hui/ Whānau Hauā Forum (via Zoom)
When: Monday 17 July, 4 - 6pm
If interested please email norma.taute@waikatodhb.health.nz for a Zoom link to join in this Forum
Disability Health Forums are a gathering of local people living with a disability or whānau hauā who share in a conversation about what matters to their community and hear what’s happening from Te Whatu Ora Waikato, other health and social service providers and local organisations/groups.
We look forward to meeting you online. He whakarongo tātou – we’re here to listen
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
60% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.7% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
Poll: Are you a Te Huia fan?
All three Hamilton MPs appear to be united behind the retention of the Te Huia passenger rail service between Hamilton and Auckland, as well as potentially expanding it to Tauranga.
But whether Hamilton East’s Ryan Hamilton, Hamilton West’s Tama Potaka and soon-to-be Labour list MP Georgie Dansey have the combined power to shunt transport minister Chris Bishop and Prime Minister Christopher Luxon onto their line of thinking remains to be seen.
Are you a Te Huia fan? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
-
82.7% Yes

17.3% No
Wild weather in the Waikato
The Waikato really copped it over the weekend, with wild weather leaving a hefty clean-up bill that may run into the millions.
While things are looking calmer in the days ahead, there are still plenty of slips and flooded roads across the district — so if you’re heading out, take it easy and stay alert.
We want to know: How did you and your whānau get on over the weekend?
