Streamline Surgical

Does everyone know about this?

St Richard's Bariatric Unit update:

Having worked very well with St Richard's Hospital and provided an excellent clinical service for the last few years, we find ourselves in a contractual disagreement and the Trust have suspended the bariatric service. If you are an NHS patient there then you remain the clinical responsibility of the hospital and they have put in place a service to answer the phones / take messages. If you have an urgent clinical need then please seek the advice of your GP. If you are a private patient and need to contact us then then please call our London office on 0208 515 6664.

Such a shame as they are leaders in their field and the experts. This sends a poor message that the NHS is not behind the cause.
