Paul Salt

Available for over a year

Have you faced delays getting blood tests lately? In the summer the NHS warned that a test tube shortage meant doctors had to prioritise their patients. Now, with the latest announcements about focussing efforts on delivering Covid boosters, efforts might again be diverted. We hear from Dr Rob Barnett, Deputy Chair of the North West Regional Council for the British Medical Association and Liverpool GP along with Anne Lamkin, Clinical Services Manager for the Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust.
