From Porirua Mayor Anita Baker:

Porirua City Council

As we bid farewell to this year, I’d like to extend a heartfelt Merry Christmas to everyone, as well as to share my hopes for a fruitful and bright 2024.

Amid all the festivities, let’s spare a thought for those facing financial stress, especially in light of cost of living pressures. It’s great to see ongoing support for local food banks, and my gratitude goes to donors and volunteers at organisations like Cannons Creek Community Pantry, St Vincent’s, and the Porirua Food Bank run by the Salvation Army. Their efforts have become even more crucial following the closure in April of St Anne’s Pantry. If you’re in a position to help, your donation can make a significant difference.

Poll: How important is the ability to book a doctor’s appointment online?

The Doctors

Hi Neighbours
Here at The Doctors we would love to hear how you prefer to book your doctor’s appointments. With busy schedules, different people find different methods easier.

For some, online booking is very convenient, you can make an appointment anytime without needing to wait on the phone. Others still prefer calling the clinic and speaking to a real person, especially if they have specific questions about their visit.

Your feedback helps us understand what works best for our patients and how we can improve access to care.
