From the Framlingham Surgery:
Our latest messages to patients is on our website (www.framlinghamsurgery.co.ukto include a whole range of advice to worried parents.  The Practice will be open for dispensary and telephone calls right over the Easter period 8.30-6.30 Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday and we are gearing up to work over the next May bank holiday also.   111 will be able to book directly into home visiting slots but these will be triaged by Suffolk Federation who will be providing the visiting service from yesterday in relation to COVID-19 related illness.  The message to patients is that it is VITAL to use 111 online as there is a huge pressure on 111 telephones.
