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

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
60% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.7% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
