Health Services at Waikato DHB
To help protect patients, staff and the community while we all respond to COVID-19 in our communities we are making some important changes to how our facilities operate.
CLINIC APPOINTMENTS AND PLANNED SURGERY
Acute and urgent care will continue to be delivered as normal, as well as time critical procedures and clinic appointments.
If you had a surgery date or a clinic appointment that was postponed or changed to a virtual consultation you will have been contacted directly to inform you of this.
If you haven’t been contacted and you are unclear about your appointment contact the booking clerk phone number on your appointment letter.
If you have any concerns or believe your procedure is urgent, please do contact the clinic you are booked with to confirm your appointment status before visiting our facilities.

Poll: Would you ever buy a total doer upper?
Housing stock is starting to move on the Coromandel Peninsula, including a dilapidated place one block back from Whitianga's Buffalo Beach that sold to a Hamilton bargain hunter for $500,000.
Real estate companies are starting to see more deals go, however, prices have stabilised with high supply levels still outstripping demand.
Would you ever buy a total doer upper? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
