West Coast DHB staff are moving back into the Buller Health centre after repairs to flood damage

They were evacuated more than a week ago when rising waters started to enter the centre in Westport.

DHB general manager Philip Wheble says a food team was first back in, after a deep clean of kitchen facilities.

He says district nurses, blood testing and other services will resume today.

The emergency operations centre, acute assessment and maternity services will remain at a temporary facility until later this week.
