Waikato couple fundraise for newborn unit after losing daughter

The Team Reporter from Hamilton Press

A Waikato couple are raising money for Waikato Hospital's Newborn Intensive Care Unit in memory of their baby girl.
Mike Davies and Cindie Ritchie were helped by the unit after daughter Emily was born at 25 weeks.
She died on October 27 after becoming unexpectedly ill the previous day.
Her parents started their appeal to support the unit to help other parents, in memory of Emily and "other angel babies of the Unit" or those still fighting for their lives.

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.

Do you use the district nursing service? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
