The Minister has confirmed that acute surgical services at Wairau Hospital are staying. I have spent months expecting a fight and I am still stunned that we actually held our ground. Keep watching to ensure they keep their word.

The path forward feels exhausting today but we are nearing our first hundred signatures. Please take a moment to pass this link along to someone else who relies on our local hospital.

My dad wouldnt be here if it wasnt for the acute team at Wairau. DONT CLOSE IT.
Living in Blenheim means we absolutely need these services local. Driving over the hill in an emergency is just not an option for my family.
Totally ridiculous idea to cut these services. Do they even know how far away the next hospital is???
Keep it open! People here pay taxes just like everyone else and we deserve proper healthcare when things go wrong.
Keep the surgeons in Blenheim where they are needed.

This is our community hospital. They are trying to gut it and leave us with nothing. Stop this now.
