Wellington Hospital Hits Record ER Crowds | Auckland News

Wellington Hospital’s ER hit a record 258 patients in one day — its busiest since last year — as winter strains resources and staff fall ill.

The capital’s urgent care clinics are now open later, offering elder-focused support and even deploying nurses to pharmacies for easier access. Health NZ urges everyone: get your flu and whooping cough shots, and use your GP or pharmacist before crowding the ER.
