A report has shown that clinics around New Zealand are understaffed, with GP's being overworked and underpaid. And for everyday kiwis, healthcare and emergency healthcare is simply not accessible.

The General Practice Owners Association of Aotearoa's report titled ‘‘On The Brink’’ outlines the urgent need to address pay parity for GP nurses and doctors, beef up workforce numbers and improve funding allocations for practices with the hopes that this makes heatlhcare more accessible in the community.

Are you noticing delays in getting GP appointments or long waits at after-hours care?

How many of you know where your community hubs are?!

For Waikanae Beach it is the Waikanae Baptist Church in Te Moana Road and for us up in Waikanae Central, East and North it is the Waikanae Memorial Hall.

A group of us met Renee Corlett there a few weeks ago and she reiterated that there won't be lots of official looking people waiting for us at the hub in the event of a major emergency, just residents to start with! Some of us will be able to bring skills and resources, some comfort and blankets, some will desperately need help and advice....

Please do come along on Saturday 3rd December - you can be a "victim" or a helper - and find out how you can help -

It will be a great way to see how a community can work together! 😊😊😊
