MidCentral DHB would like to reassure people in the Tararua District that there are no plans to permanently close the Community Mental Health Services currently provided in Pahiatua.
From December 7 through to February 19, 2021, community mental health services will be co-ordinated via the Dannevirke office, primarily to ensure we have good coverage throughout the Tararua District over the Christmas-New Year period when we have additional staff on leave.
The Pahiatua site will still be used for scheduled clinics twice a week or as needed. The psychiatrist and psychologist time in the Pahiatua office will remain the same frequency and duration.
