- One meal can to be brought in from home.
- Baby’s car seat can be brought in to where baby is so they can be transported home in a warm seat.
If there is a need for more support people due to compassionate grounds for the expectant or new mother, then this process will be explained to you at the time. All these measures help us to track any source of an infection if required to keep everyone safe.

Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
