Residents will soon find it harder to access after hours care in Christchurch

Riccarton Clinic and the 24 Hour service on Madras Street have both reduced their hours.
Riccarton After Hours will close at 6pm every Friday, Saturday, Sunday and public holidays - it previously stayed open until 8pm.
While, the Madras Street service has indefinitely dropped its overnight hours.
Co-owner Angus Chambers acknowledges this will be stressful for patients.
He says the reality is access is only going to get harder and harder.
