Help us design a health system that works for you and your whānau
Kia ora neighbours, we at Waikato District Health Board are looking at health planning for the next ten years.
We have heard your concerns. We do some things right but we need to focus on areas where we are not doing so well, where people have poorer access to health services.
We want your community to help us to design a health system that works for you and your whānau.
Come along to our wānanga:
When: Friday 3 August from 10.30am - 1.30pm
Where: Waahi Whaanui Trust , 17-23 Parry Street Complex, Huntly.
We look forward to meeting you.
To help us plan, please confirm your attendance and RSVP by 31 July to healthsystemplan@waikatodhb.health.nz
Poll: Do you think this was the right decision?
Hamilton City Council is defending a $60,000 spend on a flood of water management PR featuring a TV personality as residents face huge rates rises.
At a time of council cash constraints, Te Radar - real name Andrew Lumsden - catches the eye on the council’s Facebook page, where he currently features in three “explainer” video clips about Hamilton’s water services.
Do you think this was the right decision? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
