Changes to our GP consultations
WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT (PLEASE SHARE)
Changes to GP consultations:
Hauora Heretaunga is immediately moving to protect the health of patients in waiting rooms by continuing with phone consultations and offering video calls where possible.
We will only be seeing people in person where it is absolutely necessary. This will be arranged after a phone consultation with your doctor.
If you have a booked appointment your GP will be in contact with you.
Dental services will be provided for emergency services following a phone call with our dentist.
Pharmacy is open for flu vaccinations and a delivery service for medications will operate until 2pm daily for those assessed as high risk.
These measures are recommended by the Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners.
Please call 0800 TAIWHENUA or 06 8715352
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.
