Poll: Is there after hours care in your area?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

People living in small towns across rural and coastal Waikato could be seeing better access to after hours and urgent healthcare “closer to home” in the future.

The Government announced on Sunday it’s investing $164 million over four years to improve urgent and after hours healthcare across rural and remote parts of the country as part of Budget 2025.

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.

While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.

And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
