We want to positively support patients, visitors and staff not to smoke on Waikato Hospital grounds and provide more alternatives to groups who smoke.
We are reenergising our efforts on creating smokefree campuses, in particular Waikato Hospital where smoking in smokefree zones still persists.
To do this we need your help to help us design and promote new forms of communication that will help provide a supportive smokefree environment.

Even our local cycle groups have recorded serious incidents. For example one broken finger, another lady with a broken arm that exposed the bone, and yet another case with both a broken collar bone and two broken ribs. Furthermore, there have been many near misses (scrapes and bruises) and damage to bikes and gear.
It is self evident from the number of cattle races that cross much wider public roads on the Hauraki Plains, most often without even temporary wires, that competent farmers have absolutely no challenge getting their herds across the narrow gap of the rail corridor if the gates are removed. Thus, get rid of the them; give them to the affected farmers; they can surely make enormously better use of them.
