Community backlash has prompted the Counties Manukau District Health Board (DHB) to review its decision not to fund an after-hours emergency clinic.

The closure means east and South Aucklanders have to go to Middlemore Hospital s emergency department for after-hours medical care, putting more pressure on hospital wait times, and for some, a lengthy journey.
It followed the DHB s 2018 decision to stop funding after-hours accident and emergency services.
