The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, Healthwatch Kingston upon Thames and Mind in Kingston have today released a joint statement about the future of Time to Change Kingston.

Healthwatch Kingston acknowledges the extreme pressure NHS and social care services are facing during 'Lockdown 3'. We continue to be interested in what local people think about the care they are provided during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

This testing is for anyone who works directly with/supports adults and who doesn’t have coronavirus symptoms. This test is now also open to people living in supported living settings and people attending day services.

STAY HOME. PROTECT THE NHS. SAVE LIVES. The single most important action we can all take is to stay at home to protect the NHS and save lives.
