211

We all know that the NHS is under incredible pressure at the moment and its sad for us all to hear that Horden Group Practice had 211 missed medical appointments in December.

If you or someone you care for cant make it to any medical or appointment - then please let the service or staff know, as someone else may be able to use your appointment if they need it.

Help is always available via the 111 telephone service and in an emergency call 999.

The UK Government has introduced a requirement for voters to show photo ID when voting at a polling station at some elections.

This new requirement will apply for the first time at the local elections taking place in some areas of England on Thursday 4 May 2023.

The requirement will apply to UK Parliament general elections from October 2023, and to UK Parliament by-elections and recall petitions from May 2023. If you need help with ID or registering to Vote then pop into Horden Welfare and ask for help. We know many people don’t have access to ID and want to make sure your vote is counted electoralcommission.org.uk
