What you need to know about tomorrow's nurses strike

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Wellington Regional Hospital has been emptied out and will be reduced to essential services on Thursday as thousands of nurses and healthcare workers stop work. The industrial action will run from 7am Thursday for 24 hours.

What you need to know:
• CCDHB will notify patients if their appointments change. Anyone uncertain about their appointment or surgery can call (04) 806 0992 from 8am-8pm, and 0508 4 CCDHB (0508 4 22342) after hours.
• Wellington Regional Hospital’s delivery suite and maternity ward will remain open.
• On the day of the strike, people should still go to hospital if the matter is urgent. Dial 111 for emergencies or an ambulance.
• Otherwise, people should visit their GP or a local pharmacy.
• Free medical advice is available 24/7 at 0800 611 116.

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱
