Reduced Capacity for Routine Appointments
As instructed by Her Majesty’s Government last week, GP surgeries in East Cheshire will be running at reduced capacity from now until 31st January 2022 to facilitate the delivery of the COVID-19 booster vaccination programme.
Routine services will not be available during this time at GP surgeries across Cheshire.
We ask that patients be kind to our staff, they are working extremely hard in unprecedented circumstances, and we thank you for your support and patience during this pandemic.
Merry Christmas and best wishes for a happy and healthy New Year.
