Waikato DHB to reduce services during nursing strike

Andre Chivell from Waikato District Health Board

The nursing strike planned for Thursday 5 July has been cancelled and will not go ahead on that date. However Waikato DHB has received notice of a second strike on Thursday 12 July. The NZNO union and the DHBs have agreed a revised offer that will be taken to NZNO members this week and we expect to know the outcome of that ballot on Tuesday 10 July.

We are continuing our contingency planning for the proposed strike on 12 July which will impact on a number of services provided by our hospitals.

From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Grant Kilby has always loved camping. His mum was director of health at the YMCA, and he would attend YMCA camps in the school holidays. “I think it was mandatory that I was there,” he jokes.

He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”
