Any patients with an appointment at the Countess of Chester Hospital or Ellesmere Port Hospital should attend as normal. GP services are not affected by the strike action.

We know it sounds obvious but tomorrow is supposed to be a lovely day (hope we don’t jinx it for everybody). If you:
keep hydrated
wear sunscreen
look after elderly neighbours and relatives
then you are already winning to and keep our crews free for helping people whose lives are at risk.
