It is with much sadness that we have learned of the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second today, Thursday 8th September 2022.

The NHS across the county will remember, with affection and gratitude, the lifetime of service she has given to the people of the United Kingdom and The Commonwealth as our longest-reigning Monarch. We were honoured to be awarded the George Cross by her Majesty earlier this year. In addition, we recognise the Royal family, who are mourning the loss of a much-loved member. Our thoughts are with them at this difficult time.
