Alert Level 4
All Capital & Coast DHB and Hutt Valley DHB facilities will adopt a no-visitors policy unless there are exceptional circumstances during COVID-19 alert level 4.
These are:
• a birthing partner for women in labour
• a person supporting a patient with a disability
• a support person for a kaumātua if they require when visiting a patient
Our visitor policy webpages will be updated to reflect this shortly.
As most people should be staying isolated at home, those who are permitted to visit as part of these exceptions will be assessed at the front door and their details will be registered.
During alert level 4, we are prioritising urgent and acute services, and rescheduling planned procedures and outpatient appointments where safe to do so.
We are contacting all affected patients but if you have not heard from us, and are unsure whether to come to your scheduled appointment, please phone Hutt 04 566 6999 the day before your appointment to confirm.
Please note that emergency and urgent services are not affected.
We will continue to provide patients and the public with information as developments progress.
Thank you all for your support at this time.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
