Hospital midwives strike
Important Maternity Services Notice
Midwives who are members of the MERAS union will strike on Tuesday 10 August from 11am to 7pm. This is part of nationwide strike action and does not affect Lead Maternity Carers (LMCs).
The priority of Waikato DHB is the care of women and their babies. We have plans in place to ensure they have access to the services they need and are kept safe during the strike.
Waikato DHB hospital maternity services will still be available. However, we will not be able to provide elective services and clinics on the day of the strike (10 August). We will contact these women directly.
If you have concerns or questions, please contact your midwife. For more information please visit our website
