Said a 24 Hour Surgery spokesperson: "We are experiencing nurse shortages and will be having further closures over the coming weeks as we manage our nursing rosters.
"To ensure we are able to relieve our staff at midnight, it is likely we will stop accepting patients from between 9pm and 10pm.
“We are committed to ensuring the safety of patients. We ask people to visit yourbestcare.co.nz to learn more about the healthcare choices available to them.
"Those with urgent medical concerns should call Healthline on 0800 611 116.
“In an emergency, always call 111 or go to the Emergency Department at Christchurch Hospital.
“There are nursing shortages across the Canterbury health system.
"Recent increases in pay rates for hospital nurses recognise the important role nurses have.
“Funding has been slower to reach nurses working in the community and general practice."
