Checkpoint - A podcast by RNZ - Mondays

Waiheke residents with health issues said they're living in fear of what could happen without after-hours care. 9000 residents live on the island and currently have to call an ambulance in an emergency after Waiheke's only after hours clinic closed unexpectedly a fortnight ago. Health New Zealand officials are due to visit the island tomorrow to talk to providers about the clinic's future. But as reporter Lucy Xia reports, some said they could be facing a life or death situation.
