New Urgent Care Service For RollestonHon Simeon BrownMinister of Health6 August 2026A new urgent and after-hours service will open at Toka Hāpai Selwyn Health Hub this Saturday, easing pressure on Christchurch Hospital's emergency department and giving people in Rolleston and across the Selwyn district better access to urgent healthcare closer to home, Health Minister Simeon Brown says. "From Saturday, families can get urgent care locally in the evenings, at weekends, and on public holidays." "Urgent care supports patients with non-life-threatening injuries or medical problems not severe enough to require emergency department care, but who can't wait until the following day for medical attention. Once fully rolled out, 98 per cent of New Zealanders will be able to reach in-person urgent care within an hour's drive of home. Note:Phoenix Health Hub is providing the service at Toka Hāpai Selwyn Health Hub.
