Poll: Is there after hours care in your area?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

People living in small towns across rural and coastal Waikato could be seeing better access to after hours and urgent healthcare “closer to home” in the future.

The Government announced on Sunday it’s investing $164 million over four years to improve urgent and after hours healthcare across rural and remote parts of the country as part of Budget 2025.
