Te Whatu Ora staff based in a building on Peel Street are being relocated due to ongoing weather damage and health concerns related to the building.
About 70 staff are based at the Tangata Rite building, which houses health services such as community mental health and addictions services, Wellchild and
public health teams, among others.
Anne Aitcheson, Interim Lead for Hospital and Specialist Services, said the relocation is a precautionary measure and services are still available for the community.
“Our priority at this stage is the health and wellbeing of staff and community,” she said.
“A significant amount of work has been ongoing to improve the condition of the building and further remedial work is in progress.
