• New prescriptions issued in the outpatient clinics and the A&E will be facilitated at the Polyclinics, and not the QEH pharmacy.
• The hospital will be unable to facilitate patients requests via emails for home delivery of medications on December 12th or 13th. Further instructions will follow.
• Outpatient clinics remain open, however there may be delays.
• The department remains open to the public, but delays may be experienced.
