Havering Council launches new hotline for urgent help on coronavirus

Havering Council has launched a new free-to-call helpline for residents with urgent needs because of coronavirus.

The helpline – 0800 368 5201 – will be launched from 0930 this morning and calls will be answered from staff redeployed from other council services.

Residents can also email for help on covid19support@havering.gov.uk

We are asking residents with concerns around care, urgent issues around health and wellbeing, lack of access to supplies including food and medicine to call the helpline.

Residents with less urgent needs or needing advice on other council services should contact the council via the options on www.havering.gov.uk/contactus

Survey to Review blood testing services in Barking and Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge

Review of blood testing services in Barking and Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge

Around 255,000 people use blood testing (phlebotomy) services across Barking and Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge every year. These services take place across 40 locations including GP practices, health clinics, King George Hospital, Queen’s Hospital and Barking Community Hospital. Redbridge patients also use Whipps Cross Hospital.

We want people across Barking and Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge to have easier, faster access to blood testing services. A review of blood testing services is underway and your feedback will help us to shape our plans.

Please fill out this blood testing survey and encourage others to give their views by Sunday 22 March 2020.
