Brief phone outage to affect DHB facilities
There will be a short telephone outage at several West Coast District Health Board facilities on Wednesday night. The
outage is to enable an upgrade to our systems ahead of the introduction of a new telephone system later this year. The
outage will affect health facilities in Buller, Reefton, Hokitika and Greymouth for between 5 -15 minutes from 11:30pm
Wednesday.
If you need to phone one of these facilities at that time, and you can’t get through, wait a few minutes and try again
later.
If it is an emergency, people should dial 111.

Pass in the West and comprises the six Territorial Local Authorities of Kaikoura, Hurunui, Waimakariri, Christchurch
City, Selwyn and Ashburton.
We collaborate with other health and disability organisations, stakeholders and our community to decide what health and
disability services are needed and how to best use the funding we receive from Government to improve, promote and
protect the health, wellbeing and independence of our population.
At the Canterbury DHB, our vision is to improve the health and wellbeing of people living in Canterbury.
