It's Feedback Friday, and this week we’d like to say a big thank you to our Community Health and Social Care Hub team. 👏

The team consistently goes above and beyond, day in and day out, ensuring that calls from members of the public are handled efficiently and with care.

Last month, one of our service users said:

"I can't think of any way my call could have been better handled. I was extremely happy and impressed by the lovely lady I spoke to — please pass on my grateful thanks."

Thank you team - we are so grateful for your support! 🙌
