Thank you to everyone who worked over the Easter long weekend

Hopefully those lucky enough to have some time off over Easter had a fantastic and relaxing weekend. To the people who worked and cared for our patients, consumers and community, as well as those who made sure that our facilities continued to operate smoothly, thank you!

While the urgent care facilities were generally busy, presentations to the Christchurch Emergency Department over Easter were similar to a normal weekend.

It seems that great care was taken all over Aotearoa with only one road death in the whole country over Easter – the lowest since we were in Level 4 lockdown three years ago when there were no fatalities.
