- 7am Thursday 5 July to 7am Friday 6 July

- Giving priority to emergency, critical care and maternity.
- Still providing some essential outpatient clinics such as cancer and dialysis treatments.
- Contacting all patients whose operations or clinic appointments are affected by the strike.

Please save the hospital emergency department for emergencies only.
