Non-urgent patients asked to keep emergency department free

Neighbourly.co.nz

Non-urgent patients are asked not to show up at Hamilton's emergency department unless they have a health emergency.

Waikato Hospital is so full that some non-urgent surgery is being postponed. People who are unwell but don't need to go to ED can visit their GP, local urgent care centre, or call Healthline 0800 611 116.

Those who need immediate or urgent help should dial 111, or go straight to the Waikato Hospital Emergency Department.

The inability to hook up to a fully compliant Huntly wastewater treatment plant could slow progress at Sleepyhead Estate’s major Ohinewai industrial and housing development site, a local councillor warns.
