Charlotte has just had her B4 school hearing and vision test done at preschool and she's not 4 until March 20th?! Was good though as we found out her hearing in one ear is quite poor, we had no idea
Rang plunket about 4 weeks ago to make an appt for Harry's 2 year check and haven't been rung back. Maybe because they are going to do it later on now?]]> Tue, 02 Mar 2010 16:57:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31961&PID=955324&title=plunket-visits#955324 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31961&PID=955229&title=plunket-visits#955229 Author: aimeejoy

Yip, and apparently they are trying to do the 2 year check slightly later now as well so that kids are in the plunket system for longer.]]> Tue, 02 Mar 2010 14:36:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31961&PID=955148&title=plunket-visits#955148 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31961&PID=955144&title=plunket-visits#955144 Author: Bobbie

I just got the Plunket newsletter for our area and they are talking about 3.5 year checks in it so I guess the ones that are in the system are also being pushed out a bit too.]]> Tue, 02 Mar 2010 14:34:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31961&PID=955144&title=plunket-visits#955144 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31961&PID=955133&title=plunket-visits#955133 Author: Peanut

Just spoke to my plunket nurse as she phoned to make an appt for my 5 month old.

Apparently funding to Plunket has been cut so they no longer do 3 year checks. If you already have a baby in the system they do but new babies will not get 3 year checks.

I asked if this was nation wide and apparently it is as its government funding.

Really disappointing I think!]]> Tue, 02 Mar 2010 14:29:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31961&PID=955133&title=plunket-visits#955133 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31961&PID=953863&title=plunket-visits#953863 Author: jacobsmummy

I'm pretty sure different regions have different programmes.

Interesting, I would have thought it was standard around the country with Plunket.

Who knows then!]]> Mon, 01 Mar 2010 12:05:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31961&PID=953514&title=plunket-visits#953514 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31961&PID=953379&title=plunket-visits#953379 Author: BerryBliss

Ella had her B4 school check done by a public health nurse last year when the big changeover happened.

I did think it was odd that I hadn't heard from Plunket about Benjy's 3 year check. Normally ours are really on to it and call months ahead to book.

Might give them a ring today and find out!]]> Mon, 01 Mar 2010 07:54:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31961&PID=953204&title=plunket-visits#953204 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31961&PID=953181&title=plunket-visits#953181 Author: Cassie

its likely to be different in different areas. I think the 3yr check here is still done by Plunket, but they lost their bid for the B4 school checks, so can't do that one. I think she said it went to Piki Ti Ora (In taranaki anyways), who are way less staffed than Plunket, but then saw that a district nurse was calling families about them at the daycare - we never heard from anyone, and needless to say because I was uncertain where exactly to get one, Ivy didn't get hers. ]]> Mon, 01 Mar 2010 06:58:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31961&PID=953181&title=plunket-visits#953181 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31961&PID=953178&title=plunket-visits#953178 Author: _SMS_

Went to my coffee group this morning and we got talking about Plunket. All our children had their 2 year visits between 1-3 months ago and some of them were told that plunket is no longer doing 3 year or before school checks as they have no funding.

Has anyone else been told this?]]> Sun, 28 Feb 2010 20:24:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31961&PID=953000&title=plunket-visits#953000
