Health New Zealand say there are no new
measles cases
since the original case notified on 10 May.
That person was no longer infectious and was now out of isolation with no new locations of interest at this time, Health New Zealand's public health medicine specialist Dr Matt Reid said.
"As noted in Friday's update, the 19 people undergoing serology testing were included in the 78 people in quarantine at the time.
"While we don't as a rule comment on an individual's immunity status, anyone not considered immune has been offered vaccination once quarantine has been completed.
"As of 9am today, 36 out of the 78 contacts referred to on Friday remain in quarantine, with the majority of these expected to be released on Wednesday (21/5). All others have been released," he said.
Reid said a further update would be provided later this week.

Brown outlines Budget 2025 infrastructure spend at Auckland hospitals
Health Minister Simeon Brown has detailed how funding set aside in Budget 2025 will be used to upgrade ageing infrastructure at Auckland Hospital and Greenlane Clinical Centre. The third tranche of the Facilities Infrastructure Remediation Programme is part of the Government's $1 billion Budget hospital infrastructure investment. The programme seeks to identify, upgrade, and replace infrastructure that poses the greatest risk to hospital operations in the Auckland district. Speaking from Auckland City Hospital, Brown said the Government was committed to investing in critical health system infrastructure. "That includes ensuring the hospitals we rely on every day are safe, modern, and fit for purpose." ADVERTISEMENT The investment included upgrades to the high voltage power supply at Auckland Hospital, replacement of the ageing steam heating system, as well as improvements to electrical monitoring and building management systems at Auckland and Greenlane. It also included design work for the next stage of the Auckland hot water pipes replacement project, with construction on the first stage already underway. A water leak in one of the wards at the main adult building at Auckland Hospital in January saw a full shutdown in place for up to 10 hours, with bottled and hot water being delivered to patients. Brown said the replacement of the hot water pipe system in the main building at Auckland Hospital was a priority within the Health Infrastructure Plan. "This investment will help speed up delivery by funding the design work for the next stage of this project. Getting ahead on the design work now will mean we can fast-track the next stage by eight months." Health NZ would be carefully managing the work to minimise disruption to services, patients, and staff, he added. "This is about investing in the future of Auckland's health services – getting the basics right so frontline teams can keep delivering high-quality care to New Zealanders."

'Flipping the script' - record number of PhD scholarships granted in Māori Cancer Researcher Awards
Chae Phillips' PhD focused on improving access to care and the experiences of wāhine Māori diagnosed with symptomatic breast cancer. Photo: supplied / Cancer Society Five people have been awarded scholarships to dive into and improve Māori health inequities. The Māori Cancer Researcher Awards - a partnership between Te Kāhui Matepukupuku o Aotearoa (the Cancer Society of New Zealand) and Hei Āhuru Mōwai Māori Cancer Leadership Aotearoa - have given scholarships to four PhD and a Master's candidate. The Gut Cancer Foundation of New Zealand are supporting two of the doctoral candidates. Chae Phillips (Ngāti Rongomaiwahine) is one of this year's recipients, focusing her PhD around improving access to care and the experiences of wāhine Māori diagnosed with symptomatic breast cancer in Waikato. "What really excites me is the ability to go into a space and come from a purely kaupapa Māori grounded perspective and look at things from that perspective, and then work with wāhine Māori to create solutions that come from us and work for us." "We know now that cancer isn't always a death sentence if we find things early, and there's so much more treatment than there was 10 to 15 years ago, and we can do better." Struck by the loss of her mum, who passed away from cancer when Phillips was eight, it has fueled her to work in the health space. "It's such a harrowing experience for an entire whanau. What I remember most, even after all this time, is just the lack of understanding about how we wanted to support her as a whānau - it was very exclusionary, we were very separate and not able to be a part of that journey in the way that we wanted to be. "As a child, I recognised that, so it's something that always stuck with me." Phillips works full time in Taakiri Tuu, the Wellness and Diagnostic Centre at Te Kōhao Health, and stays "up past midnight" to work on her PhD, which is named Te Hā o Hineahuone. "It's paying heed to the power of Hineahuone. It's paying heed to the power of mana wāhine. "When I'm sitting there at midnight on a Friday, I'm like, why did I do this? But the best outcome for me is this could be amazing for my sisters, for my aunties, for the people that I love and care about and that's what keeps me going more." Chae Phillips is doing her PhD through the University of Waikato. Photo: Supplied And she wants more Māori to plunge into researching Māori health. "It's academia, but there's that ability to stand proudly as Māori and go from there as your starting point, not what someone else says you have to be. "It also shines a light on different ways that we can look at doing things, for rangatahi as well, for the next generation coming up and going, now it's possible to create things that are completely different, and from us. Nadine Riwai, Jayde Ngata, Fran Munro, and Gemella Reynolds-Hatem (Master's) also received scholarships. Within the past four years there have been a total of eight recipients to receive the endowment. Hei Āhuru Mōwai tumuaki (chief executive) Gary Thompson said this year's recipients were making tangible strides to improve health inequities whānau Māori faced. "Looking to the future, what excites us about these initiatives is the potential for real, lasting change. We are seeing researchers lead the way in creating frameworks that are not only responsive but also proactive in fostering better engagement and health outcomes for Māori communities. "These scholars are taking meaningful steps that will benefit generations to come, and we're incredibly proud to support them." Cancer Society tumu whakarae (chief executive) Nicola Coom said it is exciting to see the research awards partnership grow and strengthen. "Aotearoa New Zealand is a small nation with immense potential, and collaboration is our superpower. We must drive equity in cancer care and ensure better outcomes for those impacted most - this growing rōpū of researchers are contributing to that goal."

How much do urgent care fees vary within 21km in Auckland?
Urgent care is accessible but the fees, and the wait times, are quite varied around the Auckland. Photo: RNZ It's lunchtime on a Tuesday at the White Cross urgent care clinic in the south Auckland suburb of Otāhuhu. "Today is our fourth time in four weeks and today we've had to pay $150. So the twins are free, but me and my partner is $65 each." A mother told me the family had to come back to the clinic for another prescription, because sickness was spreading at home. "The virus that my daughters have caught doesn't go away unless you get antibiotics. And now we've caught it so we need antibiotics too, which their antibiotics won't work for us. It's just getting worse and worse. And if they get better and we've got it, we just end up giving it (the virus) back to them." The Otāhuhu clinic is close to home for the family, and it's cheaper than other urgent care clinics. "This is the most affordable one to take us in this fast. Our Local Doctors (a GP clinic) can't take us in for another three weeks. The last time we've been to the doctors for ourselves was probably two years ago. We just tough it out because it's too much amongst all the other bills that we have to pay. "Today we're gonna have to cut short on food. We haven't done our grocery shopping for the week yet, so it's gonna be what the twins need, and then whatever's left." By "take us in this fast", the mother meant: "eight hours with two two-year-olds, gonna be great." As part of the Budget this year, Health Minister Simeon Brown promised greater accessibility to urgent and after-hours healthcare in the regions, with several new 24-hour services planned around New Zealand.

Three hours later, I crossed path with the family again - 7km away at the White Cross clinic in Mount Wellington. At White Cross Otāhuhu, the cost for an un-enrolled adult without a community services card is $70. Meanwhile in Mount Wellington, the fee is $130. The mother said they were sent by staff at Otāhuhu to Mount Wellington at no extra cost, so their wait could be shortened by half. They told me the Mount Wellington waiting room is much quieter than Otāhuhu. Further south, the cheapest White Cross clinic is in Manurewa, where an un-enrolled adult without a discount pays $60, and $15 if ACC offers cover. Enrolled adults pay $18, and if they've got ACC coverage, it's free. It's an attractive price for many patients. A woman told me this is the cheapest clinic that she knows of, and she drove 10km that day to see the doctor. "Just for a follow up, it's $18." Another man told me the price is vastly different between two clinics 9km apart. "In Takanini, I think the charge for a repeat prescription is around $15 to $20, but here it's around $7 to $10." Meanwhile in Remuera, one of Auckland's affluent suburbs, the White Cross Ascot 24/7 charges $130 - more than double the $60 charged in Manurewa. A couple who just finished their consultation told me they are enrolled with the Tāmaki Health network, so it cost them $80 in Remuera. They say their bill could be cheaper if they travelled to a clinic further away, but in this case, they think their health is more important than the money they could save. "It was $80 because I was in pain, and this was the nearest hospital from my work," the woman said. "Where we go most of the time, it's about $17 or $18, then if it's after 5pm, that's $35. But she was working here, so it was convenient for her to come here," her partner added. Their wait that day was two hours. Malcolm Mulholland from Patient Voice Aotearoa said cost was the number one factor in determining whether patients access healthcare. "I know that there are a number of families and patients out there who won't go and see their GP, primarily because of cost. And when that situation does arise, what tends to happen is as the patient's health deteriorates, they end up going to the ED and that's why we are seeing ED with record number of patients." Mulholland said many factors play into how practices price their fees: location, competition, demand and funding level are just a few. He lives in Palmerston North, where there is only one after-hours clinic. It costs $210 to see a doctor during normal hours, and $240 on weeknights. The Palmerston North clinic also belongs to Tāmaki Health, which manages the White Cross network of urgent medical clinics. Tāmaki Health declined to comment, or provide a statement for this story. I asked Mulholland if there's anything patients can do to cut their bill. "Sadly not. I don't know if there is much that patients can do other than try to be seen during the day. But again, you're gonna run into problems with GP practices being full and then the wait time to see a GP. "I think that's a really sad state of affairs because you're essentially asking patients to triage themselves and patients won't always make the right decision." And Mulholland said it all came back to the desperate need for more doctors. "Patients are worried about their health. They can't get access to a GP or a doctor, whether that be during the normal working hours or via an ED. And so they're going wherever they think they might be seen." In May, the government announced a $164 million investment in urgent care. As part of the improvement, the agency noted it would implement a nationally consistent fee and subsidies schedule. In a statement to First Up, director of Living Well at Health New Zealand Martin Hefford said, "Health New Zealand is shifting from a fragmented system with wide fee variation to one that's more transparent and predictable across the country." There would still be some variation of fees, Hefford said, but the details were not finalised yet.
