KEY POINTS:
Nationwide industrial action has left Southland, Bay of Plenty and Rotorua District Health Boards (DHBs) without staff radiographers to carry out x-rays this weekend.
The industrial action began earlier this week and will continue until May 14, DHB contingency planner Anne Aitcheson said.
Contingency plans to cover this weekend's strike varied in each area. Aitcheson recommended people check local newspapers and radio stations for updates on services.
