People are being reminded which NHS services will be available
Hull and East Riding residents are encouraged to ensure they are prepared for the upcoming bank holiday to mark the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II and reminded which NHS services will be available.
Urgent Treatment Centres (UTC) and out of hours GP services across Hull and East Riding of Yorkshire will remain open. However, to allow staff the opportunity to pay their respects with the nation, GP practices and most pharmacies will be closed on Monday 19th September.
