Nikau House decision: Services to stay and grow

07/08/2020

Nelson Marlborough Health (NMH) has released its decision document at the conclusion of consultation about proposed changes to Nikau House services.

Nikau House provides community mental health services in central Nelson. Consultation about proposed changes to the service began on 5 June, prompting a strong response from tangata whaiora (clients), their whānau and supporters in particular.

The decisions are outlined in a decision document that is available in the full news story (click through to read this).
