Waikato DHB Nurses Strike – 9 June 2021

Waikato DHB

On Wednesday the 9th   of June, Waikato DHB’s NZNO nurses, healthcare assistants
and some midwives will go on strike between the hours of 11am to 7pm. 

This will have a major impact on services at all five of our hospitals (Waikato,
Thames, Taumarunui, Tokoroa and Te Kuiti). 

For patients this will mean:
 Emergency and essential services will still be provided during this time for
urgent medical care. 
 Non-urgent appointments will be deferred and rescheduled. 
 If you have an appointment on this day, please do not attend unless you have
been contacted directly that it is still going ahead. 

Please try and keep our hospital emergency departments for emergencies only. Non-
urgent patients may face a longer wait than usual. 

 If it is an emergency, please continue to call 111. However, if it is not urgent, please
visit your GP or local urgent care centre or call Healthline for 24-hour free advice on
0800 611 116. 

For more information about the strike please visit our website -
 www.waikatodhb.health.nz/strike or if you have a query or concerns call freephone
0800 276 216. Learn more

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

More alcohol restrictions, more lighting, busking rule changes and a whole lot of lobbying - these are some ways Hamilton leaders want to sort out the CBD.

Crime and anti-social behaviour in the area has been in the spotlight after recent news of a man defecating in the street near a city pub and another who flipped tables out the back of a bar after being found scrounging cigarette butts and asked to leave.

Poll: Do you think this farming-solar combo idea will be popular?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

It’s farming, but not as we know it.

Sheep are grazing under solar panels in a Waikato first that could become more common as farmers look to diversify their incomes.

Do you think this farming-solar combo idea will be popular? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
