Elective surgeries have been rescheduled, and outpatient clinics will be closed tomorrow at Tauranga and Whakatāne hospitals as nurses, midwives and healthcare assistants walk off the job for the first time in decades.
The nationwide 24-hour strike from 7am tomorrow to 7am on Friday comes after nurses rejected the DHBs' latest pay offer.
