Non COVID conditions 

We are reminding everyone to seek urgent care and treatment at all times especially for symptoms of stroke and heart attack. Delays in getting treatment pose a long-term risk to health.

We encourage people to use other important services - such as cancer screening and care, maternity appointments, immunisations and mental health support. These services can all be accessed safely.
