Coronavirus: Māori health services see drop in patients with chronic conditions

From Morning Report, 8:38 am on 28 April 2020

Māori health services are concerned that the number of Māori with chronic health conditions contacting their GPs has dropped off since the lockdown. 

They say mixed messaging about whether patients can still visit their GPs, and a lack of engagement with virutal/phone consultations is leaving Māori with chronic health conditions at risk.
