Are you waiting for a hip replacement?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

We're having a look at wait times and are keen to talk to someone who's on the list to get a hip replaced.

It's an issue that's recently been highlighted in Southland and Otago, with some people waiting up to 18 months.

But what's it like in Waikato? If you're happy to share your experience, please email news@waikatotimes.co.nz with hip replacement in the subject line.

Do you agree that businesses are feeling more positive?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Despite national headlines about sinking business confidence, Waikato Chamber of Commerce members are more positive - at least the small number who shared their thoughts.

Poll: Do you think central government should help Maungatautari?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

The country’s flagship mainland ecological island project has only two months to find half a million dollars before cutting back its vital conservation work or letting staff go.

The future for Maungatautari Sanctuary Mountain looks increasingly uncertain, with Jobs for Nature funding ending this month, a $150,000 overdraft, and requests for additional support from the Department of Conservation being so far unsuccessful.

“We need central government to come to the table," manager Helen Hughes says.

Do you think central government should step in to help? Tell us about your reasons (and include NFP if you don't want your comments used in print).
