Notice to Patients - Staff Sickness
We are currently experiencing higher-than-normal staff sickness, which is affecting our day-to-day services. As a result, you may notice:
- Longer wait times on the phone
- Fewer available appointments
- Delays to some of our usual services
We truly appreciate your patience and understanding during this time. Our team is working hard to continue providing care and support for all our patients.
