Te Whatu Ora is asking the Employment Relations Authority to help resolve its pay dispute with senior doctors and dentists.
Members of the Association of Salaried Medical Specialists have scheduled a four-hour strike tomorrow.
Te Whatu Ora Chief Executive Margie Apa says they've asked for help, because they're at an impasse.
"We're yet to hear back, so we're hoping that we are chasing them, because we'd like to get it in front of them as quickly as possible."
