Message from NHS England
The NHS is carrying out work in Devon,
Cornwall and Isles of Scilly to make sure the patient details on GP lists are
accurate. Letters are being sent to some
patients, but not all.
If you do receive a letter, please either
confirm your details or submit any changes. Changes can be made by returning
the form in the prepaid envelope. If the details are correct, you can confirm
by freepost, by freephone, via text message or online.
It is important to respond to the letter, as
GP lists do get out of date over time. If we don’t have an accurate record of
your name and address, then we or a hospital may not be able to contact you
with important information.
We may also need to
contact you:
·
with
test results
·
to
invite you for bowel, breast or cervical screening to protect against cancer,
for example
·
to
offer vaccination against infectious diseases such as flu or measles, mumps and
rubella
·
to
give you an appointment as part of your plan to stay healthy if you have a
long-term illness
