Health Information
In the past, we offered you information on general matters of health that may concern you. It is a continuous effort on our behalf to keep you up to date on all of the relevant material, which may well be out-dated shortly after updating the information. We have reviewed this procedure and decided a better approach will be to use this page to give you a brief description and an internet link to our parent NHS web site and other useful sites that will give you the answers and information you are seeking, which you can rest assured, will always be up to date.
