• Waikato DHB will be contacting patients directly to advise them of any changes. We ask that patients come to their scheduled appointment on time unless we have contacted them directly to say their appointment is being rescheduled.
• On the day of the strike, people should still go to hospital if the matter is urgent. Dial 111 for emergencies or an ambulance.
• Anglesea Accident and Urgent Medical, Gate 1, corner Thackeray, Anglesea St, Hamilton, will have extra staff on during the strike.
