• o our valued patients,
  We regret to inform you we have had to increase our fees as of
  September 2nd 2024. We have delayed this increase for as long as
  possible as we know many households are struggling with the increased
  cost of living.
  Government funding for primary care has only risen by 4% while our
  costs have risen by more than 9% in the past 12 months alone, leaving us
  with no other choice.
  Despite our repeated efforts to convey the need for increased funding,
  our concerns haven’t resulted in sustainable funding. This has led us to
  reluctantly pass these costs on to you.
  Please understand this decision to increase our fees was made as a last
  resort, and we acknowledge the impact it will have on our patients and
  our community.
  Your wellbeing remains our utmost priority, and we are dedicated to
  providing you with the best care possible.
• Please note that Community services card holders  will remain at $19.50 
• Please feel free to Lobby for better funding for Primary Care services via central government through your local MP.
• Ngā mihi nui,
