Waikato DHB

Kia ora, we’re holding a Waikato Disability, Whānau Hauā Forum, and would like you to join us.
At Te Whatu Ora - Health New Zealand we want to hear your thoughts on health and well-being, and on local health services.
To help us with this, join our friendly online forum and share your knowledge and experiences with us so we can improve services for people living with a disability / whānau hauā, and enable information sharing.
As part of this, we’ll update you on key health and disability services related matters, and emerging initiatives.

Topics include - Local community feedback and discussion on the new health system and localities.
We are also going through an organisational change process currently and will share more about this with you.

Waikato Regional Disability Hui/ Whānau Hauā Forum (via Zoom)
When: Monday 17 July, 4 - 6pm

If interested please email norma.taute@waikatodhb.health.nz for a Zoom link to join in this Forum

Disability Health Forums are a gathering of local people living with a disability or whānau hauā who share in a conversation about what matters to their community and hear what’s happening from Te Whatu Ora Waikato, other health and social service providers and local organisations/groups.

We look forward to meeting you online. He whakarongo tātou – we’re here to listen

How's your household finding things in this financial climate?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Waikato borrowers are struggling to pay their debts and Afterpay, Covid, and a lack of financial nous are largely to blame, says a Hamilton financial advisor.

Statistics from credit reporting company Centrix show high percentages of financial hardship and home loan arrears across many parts of New Zealand, including Waikato.

How's your household finding things in this financial climate? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
