Our services continue to operate during their usual opening hours, with business continuity plans in place. We are monitoring the situation closely. You may experience longer waits when contacting us. Thank you for your patience.

Please continue to attend planned appointments unless we contact you to advise otherwise. During usual opening hours, contact your service by telephone or through its app. Please do not contact us by email while the disruption continues.
