NHS Supplier Distribution Issue Impacting Blood Tests

As you may be aware, following updates from the media, there is currently a supply issue with blood test tubes.

Anyone who needs a test for urgent health problems, will still get one but where your clinician recommends that it’s safe to do so, then you will be asked to attend a blood test at a later date.

Given the nature of the shortage, we cannot give an exact date for when the test will be rescheduled, but please be assured that if your conditions or symptoms require it, then the Practice will request an urgent test.
