Letters from the Hospital

Health New Zealand is significantly improving the way it communicates with South Island patients by introducing an email-based system to send hospital appointment letters.

From 14 April check your email inbox (and your Junk/Spam folders) for a verification email from [email protected].

Click on the link in the email to confirm your email address and to consent to receiving health information electronically. Once verified, you will start receiving appointment letters via email.

This service is optional, and patients who prefer traditional mail will continue to receive appointment letters via post.
