We're moving to Clinical Appointments
Counties Manukau Health to move to telephone appointments.
We are now switching to telephone outpatient clinic consultations from healthcare providers at Middlemore Hospital and the other clinic sites such as Manukau, Botany or Pukekohe clinics.
Please do not come to clinic appointments unless we contact you by phone.
You should only come to your outpatient clinic appointment if you have received a telephone call advising you to come.
Patients who have not been advised to come to the clinic will be sent a text or we will telephone you to advise an approximate time we will call – for example, sometime between 10-11am or 2-3pm.
However, if the doctor, nurse or therapist decides a face to face consultation is required, this will be arranged with staff wearing the appropriate clothing.
These telephone consultations are designed to keep everyone safe from
potentially catching the Coronavirus (Covid-19).

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
