Auckland District Health Board will only be allowing patient visits on compassionate grounds, starting from 7am on Tuesday, after a nurses union launched legal action challenging its policy around visitors, RNZ reports. Previously, Auckland Hospital patients were allowed to nominate two visitors, one of whom could visit on any one day. The Auckland DHB is now attempting to tighten up its visitor policy to match Counties Manukau and Waitematā DHBs.
