What you need to know about tomorrow's nurses strike
Elective surgeries have been rescheduled, and outpatient clinics will be closed tomorrow at Tauranga and Whakatāne hospitals as nurses, midwives and healthcare assistants walk off the job for the first time in decades.
The nationwide 24-hour strike from 7am tomorrow to 7am on Friday comes after nurses rejected the DHBs' latest pay offer.
What you need to know:
• For information on appointments, call BOPDHB Patient Information Centre on 0800 333 477, 7.30am to 6pm Monday to Friday.
• On the day of the strike, people should still go to hospital if the matter is urgent. Dial 111 for emergencies or an ambulance.
• Otherwise people should visit their GP or a local pharmacy.
• Free medical advice is available 24/7 at 0800 611 116.
