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.
