Service appreciated

1 min read

Re: City’s healthcare crisis (Gisborne Herald, Aug 28).  

I am thankful for the years of after-hours service my family received from 3 Rivers when we needed them in emergencies — and also saddened that we have to take a step backwards and now go to A&E for after-hours medical services. I do, however, understand why they have done this and support their decisions, or we will have more staff burnout and, in the end, a greater reduction in services.
