    A long-awaited upgrade to Gisborne Hospital's mental health unit opens to patients in January

    A long-awaited upgrade to Gisborne Hospital's mental health unit opens to patients in January


    The 31-million dollar Te Whare Awhi Ora unit has 10 beds.

    It includes five general-ward rooms, three high-dependency rooms and two short-stay rooms.

    Mental Health Minister Matt Doocey says the bigger and more therapeutic acute mental health unit will mean staff can better support patients and give them the care they need.
