Demand high at new Chilton health centre

It seems that a desire to take a look at the newly opened Health Centre in Chilton has caused many to overcome their qualms with regards to getting round to having that overdue blood test. 

Dave Crimmin, the Parish Clerk for Chilton, forwarded the message below yesterday:-

'SUDBURY COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTRE, Church Field Road, Chilton, Sudbury

Inevitably, everyone needing a blood test has arrived at the new Sudbury Health Centre at the same time this morning (perhaps to view the building), so if you are due to go for one please go later this week or next in the afternoon if possible.

If you have an appointment in the next few weeks, please be patient. Inevitably there will be teething problems. The building is as new to NHS staff as it is to us and it will take time to work out new systems and ways of working.

For general enquiries you can ring the Health Centre Reception on 01787 886300 from 8.00am to 5.30pm. BT in their wisdom have changed some local numbers, so Siam Surgery Reception at the new Centre is 01787 886444.
