It could take up to six months to rebuild TRG Imaging's Tutanekai St clinic following Sunday's fire, with its mammogram service to be moved to Taupo in the meantime.
Specialist fire investigator Bay of Plenty Coast Jon Rewi today confirmed the cause of the fire was a failure of a fluorescent light fitting.
TRG manager Debbie Cartwright said the business had increased ultrasound services at its Haupapa St clinic and was continuing to offer CT and MRI imaging there.
Mrs Cartwright said thanks to the support of Southern Cross Hospital, they had secured rooms there to provide X-ray services immediately, and quite soon, additional ultrasound services.
"Our mammography service will be temporarily relocated to our clinic in Taupo and in conjunction with the DHB, we will assist with patient transportation as required. We have use of the Breast Screen Mobile Bus and it is highly likely this service will be available for one week from Monday, May 15 and we will confirm this early next week."
There would be a radiologist present at all three locations, Mrs Cartwright said.
She thanked locals for their understanding and support during this time and said to contact the organisation if they had any queries.
"Our staff are ready and willing to understand your unique needs and provide whatever
support they can."
She said the Rotorua Orthopaedics would be relocating to Southern Cross Hospital, and
will start services by Monday.
The fire on Sunday afternoon also closed the neighbouring Lakes Primecare and the pharmacy for the day.
