South Dunedin teenager Micah Wharerimu is being called a hero
for helping save the lives of his best friend and two of his
uncles after they were swept out to sea while fishing at Cape
Saunders yesterday.
More older patients are turning up in Dunedin Hospital's
emergency department, prompting fears the cost of primary
health care is putting some off visiting the GP.
Despite record successes at other health boards, Southern
District Health Board's (SDHB) emergency department targets
remained static in the past quarter.
The man behind the South's proposed involvement in the
world's largest radio telescope project is "bitterly
disappointed" by the Square Kilometre Array (SKA)
announcement.
