Re-introduction of masks in all areas from today

We have reviewed the current and predicted data around COVID-19 and in response to the increasing numbers of staff and patient illness we have taken the difficult decision to revert back to mask wearing in all areas. 

We will therefore be asking our staff and visitors to wear masks in all of our buildings from today (4 July) until further notice. 

We recognise how difficult it is to make this change, but we are aiming to protect our staff and patients as much as possible.

Thank you for your ongoing kindness and understanding as we get accustomed to mask wearing again.
