seven.2) Other additional information
This Corrigendum has been issued Feb 2022 as a result of the impact of the Covid Pandemic on the CCG's abilities to re-open the PDPS in accordance with the original opening times advertised, due to lack of capacity within the commissioning workforce whilst the system was under significant pressures dealing with first the Covid Pandemic and subsequently the Vaccination Programme roll out. As such the CCG's intend to re-open this PDPS from April 2022, and have aligned future opening times to the 1st April each year.
