Christchurch resident's 24 Hour Surgery will soon be returning to business as usual

The Pegasus Health facility on Madras Street, started closing overnight from 10pm in September, due to nursing shortages.

It's will now be open from 8am Sunday's, till 10pm on Tuesdays.

Surgery clinical director Jasmine Mackay says after a successful recruitment campaign, they can now increase their hours around the busiest times.

She says they're aiming to progressively extend the number of nights they're open, until operations resume early next year.
