In Christchurch at the moment, surgeries are being deferred from Christchurch Hospital. The hospital is at 112 percent capacity. The DHB estimates that there is anywhere between 170 and 200 staff either off sick or off isolating. Ten minutes up the road, St George's private hospital is likely to lose the remaining dozen or so maternity beds. Now, I understand that the story that is not reported in the media is this is actually due to the fact that they cannot staff these beds with midwives. CDHB has been promising for some time to build a maternity wing somewhere near Christchurch Women's Hospital. I had a letter from the CEO just recently confirming it would be available by 2023. Thus far, I haven't seen any indication any property has been bought, any tenders have gone out; there don't seem to me to be any plans for the build of this facility. I hope I am proven wrong. Ashburton Hospital is only able to cater for very, very uncomplicated births. So that leaves the eyes of Canterbury and parents of Canterbury looking at my own electorate, Selwyn.
