Shielding

[Jeecamgunn]

Does anyone know if NHS Scotland has contacted anyone yet about shielding?

[WindsweptRissa]

I was wondering that too. There’s been no information on how and when we’ll be contacted. I know, from AsthmaUK information, that I’ll be on the list but would prefer a letter or something to confirm and I’m not sure whether my husband will be on the list due to his arthritis medication.

Thank you, in the same situation as you .

I think it will be down to Scottish Parliament Jeecamgunn and Windswept. Its the independence Scotland already has.

Anything just concerning England best to check local government / Parliament and news.

Same for Northern Ireland and Wales.

So people in Scotland won't be contacted? And it sounds like it's more of a suggestion rather than a restriction. ☹️

[WindsweptRissa in reply to HungryHufflepuff]

The information on NHS Scotland site is the same as the UK government information. It still says they will be contacting people, just doesn’t say how.

Makes it easier if we they just say.. this is what you must do to stay safe.

I’ve heard nothing yet and truly I’d prefer not to get this scary text/letter because a) it would distress me and b)I can’t see any reason why, on the edge of the countryside, I can’t go for a walk where I won’t meet anyone.

[Jeecamgunn]

I understand that. Miss my walks xx

I called yesterday regarding a repeat prescription and I was told that the doc will be calling me as I’m on the list.

Got a letter today.

[Jeecamgunn]

Got mine this morning too 💕
