Any patients who are affected by this and wish to speak to someone about the switches, please contact PALS: nnicb-nn.patientexperience@nhs.net who will be happy to assist you with your queries. We would ask that you do not contact the practice about this as this is a directive from the ICB and not initiated by the practice.
