Service Changes Information Hub

We are working hard to bring you all the updates and changes to NHS, social care and community services due to Coronavirus.

To make things easier, our online Service Changes Information Hub brings together the rapidly changing information about local services into one easy to access place.

The hub includes information about hospital visiting, changes to opening hours for local pharmacies, changes to dental services and sources of support, all of which are all vitally important to residents at this time. 

If you spot something that you think should be included, please let us know as we are updating the content regularly.
