Coronavirus Covid 19

We have made changes to the services that we deliver to you, following government guidance and we can confirm we have complied with the government’s
guidance on managing the risk of COVID-19 - see our FIVE STEPS TO SAFER WORKING TOGETHER document and our Covid-19 risk assessment.

Your health and safety, that of your home and all of our colleagues along with our corporate responsibility to protect the NHS and those most vulnerable in our communities is our priority, and at the heart of our decision making.
