A supplier to the NHS has advised the NHS of a national shortage of some equipment we use for taking blood tests.
Anyone who needs a test for urgent health problems will still get one but where your clinician recommends it’s safe to do so, we may be in touch with you to ask you to come back for a test at a later date, or your appointment may be rescheduled.
Given the nature of the shortage, we cannot give an exact date for when the test will be rescheduled, but please be assured that if your condition or symptoms require it, then you will get a test, and we will be re-booking your test when supplies become more easily available.
If your condition or symptms change or get worse, please contact the NHS as you would normally.
The shortage of blood tubes is affecting the hospital too. Please do not attend or contact the hospital or Sainsburys to have your bloods taken. Thank you.
