What you need to know:
• Taranaki DHB will contact patients who have had their appointments cancelled due to the strike. There is also a freephone number for people who need more information about how they might be impacted during the strike - 0800 753 868.
• Taranaki Base and Hawera Hospitals will continue to operate essential services such as emergency departments, emergency surgery and maternity care throughout the strike.
• On the day of the strike, people should still go to hospital if the matter is urgent. Dial 111 for emergencies or an ambulance.
• Otherwise, people should visit their GP or a local pharmacy.
• Free medical advice is available 24/7 at 0800 611 116.
