Poll: Have you noticed a change on Ulster St recently?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Following the end of large-scale emergency housing contracts, moteliers on Hamilton’s Ulster Street are contending with a legacy of reputational damage, sharply reduced occupancy rates, and intense competition that has dragged room prices back nearly a decade.

Emergency housing grants, introduced in 2016 as a way to shelter the country’s most vulnerable on a short term or transitional basis, fundamentally reshaped Ulster Street.

Poll: Do you use the district nursing service?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

The health system has been accused of breaking the law amid sky-rocketing demand for community-based nurses in Waikato.

This comes as the supply of district nurses lags behind referral increases of more than 100%, leading to staff burn out and an “unprecedented” service failure.
