    Did you question why you got the letter in May which contradicted your text in March?
  • Could be raised to the MP, can't guarantee what response will be like. Had a relative in pain left waiting quite a while for treatment, one look at the MP's pretty 'touché' letter soon had me change my mind about approaching them on something else .. but maybe their not all the same.
    I echo the mixed messages totally, received a recent blue nhs why haven't you had the flu jab yet letter, a waste of a letter and a tree - I was informed over 2 months ago there was an nhs appointment coming up for this if it had been checked. Not the first error of the year either for me.

    Imagine the time it would take though to individually check everybody. Easy to lose sight of the magnitude of the task and focus on oneself. In a global pandemic better to be safe than sorry.

    No because I got the text from the government to say I’d been recognised as someone CEV to coronavirus. I just assumed the criteria must of changed as many things were then with it all being so new to everyone.
