As a result of the latest earthquake there will be no local Plunket services in Christchurch or the surrounding Canterbury region until further notice.

Plunket hopes to be able to resume its normal services to local communities across the Canterbury region as quickly as possible.

For more information please check the Plunket website at www.plunket.org.nz

PlunketLine is continuing to operate as normal. If you urgently need advice from Plunket please call PlunketLine on 0800 933 922, or if your baby is unwell please call HealthLine on 0800 611 116. We are anticipating a higher number of calls than normal following Tuesday’s earthquake, so call waiting times may be a little longer than usual.
