Micky is a quality advisor at Hutt Hospital.

Gemma Elizabeth from Hutt Valley District Health Board

During March, Micky and his team created Hutt Hospital's Kōrero Service.

"People can use Kōrero to send a free card to a family or friend in Hutt Hospital," said Micky. "The team created it to help patients, especially the elderly, stay connected with their whānau during the lockdown."

"We had a huge uptake after launching. People from all around the country and even some from overseas were using Kōrero. Many users were grandchildren sending messages to their grandparents in hospital."

"It was such a privilege helping to connect patients with their loved ones. I enjoyed watching the patients’ faces light-up after receiving a card from their family."

If you would like to send a free message using this service to a family member or friend at Hutt Hospital visit: www.huttvalleydhb.org.nz...

Karl from Alicetown

Does Eastbourne have councillor if so can someone please advise me they need to say something about this ridiculous situation
