Hospital Rebuild
Thank you to our community members who participated in our Clinical Services Plan review consultation. The Department of Health report is expected by June, to direct our service provision for the next 10-15 years.
COVID & Flu Vaccinations
If it has been 6 months since your last COVID infection or vaccination, then it’s time to get your booster shot. COVID boosters are available for everyone aged 18 and over, and new bivalent boosters are available to protect you from the more recent variants of COVID.
Vaccinations for COVID and influenza are available at your local GP or pharmacy in preparation for the colder months ahead.
