On behalf of the Junction and Alkrington Surgery and the NHS in Greater Manchester, we extend our heartfelt sympathy and sincerest condolences to all the Royal Family.

Statement from Mark Fisher, chief executive of NHS Greater Manchester Integrated Care:

“It is with great sorrow that we have learned of the death of Her Majesty the Queen. On behalf of the NHS in Greater Manchester, we extend our heartfelt sympathy and sincerest condolences to all the Royal Family. Throughout her life, Her Majesty the Queen served us all with unwavering loyalty, dedication and leadership; and her absence is something many of us will find difficult to accept."

Following the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the activation of arrangements relating to her lying in state and subsequent funeral the government has confirmed that Monday 19th September will be a Bank Holiday. We can confirmthat the Practice will be closed and that BARDOC will be providing their usual Bank Holiday Out of Hour Service on Monday 19th September, as well as their 7 Day Access bank holiday service.

We have made contact with all patients that had appointments arranged, and have either consulted them early, or rescheduled their appointments to another suitable time (many on the 20th and 21st). Prescriptions will be cleared on Friday evening and sent to nominated pharmacies in advance of the bank holiday.
