12th December 2018

We have unfortunately had a fault on our fax line for some time.  We made the decision to decommission the fax machine as this was now old technology which isn't considered secure anymore.  This is in line with the publication from the Health and Social Care Secretary Matt Hancock, who declared a ban on fax machine in all NHS organisations by 2020.  Read the full story here.
