Malcolm Mulholland: Patient Voice Aotearoa Chair on the lack of robust urgent care services in Napier - Early Edition with Ryan Bridge

The Napier community feels underwhelmed despite retaining its overnight urgent care. 

The Government’s back tracking on a leaked proposal to cut the service due to low demand, which sparked community backlash. 

It will remain nurse-led, but with no doctors on-site.

He says they do feel like they've been let down by the government.
