Health New Zealand says it's deeply concerned about today's dual strike action from junior doctors and blood workers.
It's junior doctor's third round of strikes and the beginning of a week of action from Blood Service lab workers.
Health New Zealand's accusing the unions of scheduling action at the same time, compounding patient impact.
But Chief People Officer Andrew Slater told Mike Hosking that contingency planners have worked hard to ensure as much care as possible goes ahead.
He says emergency departments are open, hospital patients will receive safe care, and unless you're contacted directly, still go to your outpatient appointment.
