Emergency housing programme

This programme is a collaboration between Te Runanga o Kirikiriroa (Facilitation Service) and general practices.

Funding is specifically targeted to people who are in emergency or transitional housing or homeless within inner city Hamilton and are engaged with Te Runanga o Kirikiriroa. The aim is to re/engage these people with general practice when they are unwell rather than them presenting to the emergency department. The secondary aim is for this population to then enrol with a practice.

Te Runanga o Kirikiriroa will employ a facilitator to work with social agencies and their clients. If the client needs a GP appointment, the facilitator works with the client and the practice to arrange an appointment.

Your Pinnacle Services Contract applies to this service. By claiming for this service, you have indicated that you have read and agreed to the business rules set out here.
