Protest action is still going ahead in Napier this weekend. 

There's been community backlash after a leaked proposal showed the Government considering cutting the overnight urgent care nurse service. 

It's now choosing to retain it, but still with no GPs on-site. 

Napier Mayor Kirsten Wise told Mike Hosking the closest doctor is a 25-minute drive away at Hastings Hospital's busy Emergency Department. 

She says the protest will not just be for overnight care but about the level of services being provided to the community in general.
