Further industrial action: APEX union Medical Imaging Technologists (MITs)
Industrial action will affect radiology services (X-ray, CT & MRI) in Nelson and Wairau Hospitals, including Emergency Departments, as follows:
• From 0701 Tuesday 29 October to 0700 Saturday 2 November
• From 0700 Monday 4 November to 0700 Tuesday 5 November (Nelson only)
Please note: Ultrasound services are unaffected.
Our contingency planning team has worked hard to minimise the potential effects of the strike on patient care, prioritising the continuation of emergency and urgent services during the strike.
All non-urgent X-rays and scans will be deferred to a future date. Patients may call 0800 733 372 to check the status of their appointment.
Thank you for your patience
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
32.5% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
67.5% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
