- High user health card holders; and People living in a quintile five area.
The consultation fee waiver applies to urgent care only e.g. things which need to be seen immediately if you aren’t able to see your local doctor.
The fee waiver includes presentations for medical consultations and ACC co-payments however, fees outside the consultation can still be charged by the clinics.
For routine care such as the treatment of long term conditions, repeat prescriptions and Doctor’s Certificates please contact your usual GP.
We encourage our community to make use of this service. In doing so you will receive the care you need as quickly as possible and also help to keep our hospital Emergency Department free to deal with emergencies.
