Guy welcomes reassurances on Horowhenua beds
Otaki MP Nathan Guy says he is pleased with the reassurance from MidCentral DHB that the 24 beds are remaining at the Horowhenua Health Centre.
“While final decisions haven’t been made, it’s very reassuring to hear MidCentral recognise these beds are essential for local health care. I’m glad they are just looking at how the beds are serviced.
“Removing these beds from our community would have had major repercussions down the track.
“I’m still very engaged in discussions around this issue. The rescheduled meeting with Murray Georgel, CEO of MidCentral DHB and other stakeholders will now take place on April 1st where I expect we’ll have a vigorous discussion,” said Mr Guy.
