My 2023 Prospa Local Business Hero nomination
The Otaki Medical Centre. With all the extra stress of the Covid saga, and being the busiest place in town, I'd like to shout out for all the staff at our medical centre. I know they do their very best to meet the health needs of our community, and sometimes that is a big stretch. Especially when staff are short, epidemics need managing, customers behave unreasonably (occasionally), air conditioning breaks down, etc etc I take my hat off to our team at the end of Aotaki Street. They just seem to Keep Calm and Carry On. Good on all the Doctors, Nurse Practitioners, Practice Nurses, Receptionists, Admin and Management. We are truly blessed to have a reliable, accessible and affordable Medical service in our town. Kia Ora to you all. AnneMarie Verbeek, client.

Could the jury service process be improved?
Every year, thousands of New Zealanders are called up to serve as jurors in the High and District Courts, and it's an important way to contribute to your country.
But for some, jury service can be a huge disruption and a financial burden. Do you think changes could be made to our jury service system to address these challenges?
