Representatives from several health and social services in Marlborough come together at Waikawa Marae.
A gathering of social and health services at Waikawa Marae, in Marlborough, is hoped to help families seeking help through the marae’s new Whānau Ora navigator. More than a dozen organisations attended a hui (meeting) at the marae near Picton on Tuesday, many of the professionals meeting kanohi ki te kanohi (face to face) for the first time.

Some New Zealand hospitals are reporting a baby boom following lockdown; one says the number of women at its maternity ward has increased by 44 per cent since last year.
Middlemore Hospital was seeing a daily average of 34 new patients to its maternity ward between December 2019 and January 2020. This summer the number has jumped to 49.
Middlemore Hospital obstetrician Dr Sarah Corbett told the Herald the past four weeks had felt really busy, and every delivery room was full.
