District Health Boards say contingency plans at the country’s hospitals have been supporting care as intended for the strike by NZNO nurses, midwives and healthcare assistants that began at 11:00 this morning and ended at 7:00 tonight.
Spokesperson Dale Oliff says DHBs have coped well even though occupancy has been very high, and Emergency Departments have generally been as busy as a normal day.

The eight-hour strike by nurses at all public hospitals and DHB facilities will go ahead this week after the New Zealand Nurses Organisation (NZNO) voted to reject a second offer. Source: istock.com
NZNO lead advocate David Wait said the second DHB offer did not significantly change and did not address serious nursing workforce issues and pay rates that do not attract people into the profession or retain the people we have .
Nurses around the country will walk off the job in protest from 11am to 7pm on Wednesday.
It s the second DHB offer that the union has turned down, which Wait said still fails to address the issues raised and wasn t significantly different to the previous offer.
