The West Coast DHB hopes services at Buller Health can be back up and running next week

Patients were moved to a makeshift ward at the local workingmen's club, after floodwaters damaged the health centre's boiler room on Friday night.

A pop-up GP clinic was also been set up in the vaccination centre on Russell Street.

General manager Philip Wheble says Buller Health will be closed for at least a week, for repairs.

He says the heating and hot water needs to be fixed before they can return to the building.
