Alert Level 4
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.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
