Alert Level 4

Gemma Elizabeth from Hutt Valley District Health Board

All Capital & Coast DHB and Hutt Valley DHB facilities will adopt a no-visitors policy unless there are exceptional circumstances during COVID-19 alert level 4.

These are:
• a birthing partner for women in labour
• a person supporting a patient with a disability
• a support person for a kaumātua if they require when visiting a patient
Our visitor policy webpages will be updated to reflect this shortly.
As most people should be staying isolated at home, those who are permitted to visit as part of these exceptions will be assessed at the front door and their details will be registered.
During alert level 4, we are prioritising urgent and acute services, and rescheduling planned procedures and outpatient appointments where safe to do so.
We are contacting all affected patients but if you have not heard from us, and are unsure whether to come to your scheduled appointment, please phone Hutt 04 566 6999 the day before your appointment to confirm.
Please note that emergency and urgent services are not affected.
We will continue to provide patients and the public with information as developments progress.
Thank you all for your support at this time.

As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!

John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
