Petition request

That the House of Representatives urge the Government to fund full 24/7 access to the Catheterisation Laboratory at the Dunedin Hospital for patients.

Petition reason

Sheralyn Weepers suffered a cardiac arrest and subsequent heart failure, which led to her premature death. I believe this was because the Dunedin Hospital Catheterisation Laboratory is only routinely open from 8.00am to 4.30pm. I think there should be full 24/7 access.
