Urgent and cancer care will go ahead
Nottinghamshire hospitals have postponed some routine appointments that were scheduled for the day of the Queen's funeral. Hospitals in the city and wider county join NHS trusts across the country in rescheduling non-urgent patients on Monday, September 19.
It comes after the announcement that the nation would be given a bank holiday to observe the long-reigning monarch being put to rest. All emergency care, urgent elective and cancer care will, however, be taking place as usual, Nottinghamshire's Integrated Care Board announced. Patients who were supposed to have an appointment with either Nottingham University Hospitals , which runs Queen's Medical Centre and City Hospital, and Sherwood Forest Hospitals will be contacted if they have had their appointment cancelled.The ICB said: "At our hospitals, all emergency care, urgent elective and cancer care will be taking place as usual.
SFH, which runs King's Mill, Newark and Mansfield Community hospitals, said it is "inevitable there will be some disruption to some non-urgent planned care originally planned". The ICB also confirmed GP practices would be closed across Nottinghamshire on Monday, but said out-of-hour GPs could be contacted through 111 as per normal bank holiday measures.
The organisation added it would seek to honour pre-booked Covid vaccination appointments but said sites could close if there are very low numbers. In such case people booked in would be contacted.
