Rescheduled appointments still apply despite strike being called off

This in from the IW NHS, in their own words Ed


The British Medical Association (BMA) has announced that, following conciliatory talks with NHS Employers and the Department of Health, industrial action which was due to begin at 8am today (1 December) has been called off.

A very small number of patients will have had appointments rescheduled because of the planned action and this still applies, despite the action being called off.

The Trust had not been in a position where any elective (planned) operations were going to be disrupted.

It is important that patients continue to attend their appointments as usual, unless they have been told otherwise by a member of staff.
