He Puna Waiora is an essential service and is open. Please DO NOT come in but ring us. We have been instructed to reduce patients presenting as a COVID-19 safety measure and are therefore completing high levels of tele-triage and GP phone consults. If a GP determines you need to be seen, an appointment will be made.
Our phones are manned 0800 925 242 Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.
We are not bulk prescribing medication. Please stop phoning requesting this, Scripts are being completed as they come due and in usual quantities. Currently we can deliver scripts for He Puna Waiora patients at no delivery cost.
Please be kind to my team, they are doing their best. Abusive and threatening behaviour will be reported to authorities.
Nga mihi,
