Newtown Union Health announces impact of funding cuts
- On Thursday 31st May the Policy Board of the primary health care service, Newtown Union Health Service (NUHS), met to discuss the proposed management plan to accommodate a DHB funding reduction to frontline services of $274, 000. The Board has made the decision to put on hold any decision until the community has been made aware of the front line services that are having to be reduced as a result of the DHB funding cut. However, prior to implementation of this proposal, the board is calling an open public meeting to consult with service members and other interested community representatives.

Newtown group to protest against funding cut to local health care service
- In a classic case of David versus Goliath, concerned members of the Newtown community will protest the quarter million funding cut to the Newtown Union Health Service on Friday. NUHS has been told by the Capital and Coast District Health Board that it will lose $274,000 in funding from July 1. The frontline primary health care service caters to South Wellington’s most vulnerable communities, looking after people who have difficulty accessing appropriate and affordable health care due to socio-economic deprivation and language barriers.
