A nurses strike set for this Wednesday, is confirmed to be going ahead
28 July 2025
Bargaining between Health New Zealand and the Nurses Organisation took place today, with Health New Zealand saying it was committed to reaching an agreement and lifting the strike notice.
But the health agency says it's disappointed the nurses union is opting to follow through with action.
It says it's estimated 4300 planned procedures and specialist appointments will have to be postponed, as 36-thousand nurses, midwives, and health care assistants walk off the job for 24 hours.
