Measles is highly infectious and spreads fast among those who are unvaccinated. It is a particularly nasty disease for any child and sadly for some children can be very serious and they can end up in hospital. Please make sure your child is up to date with their vaccinations. It is never too late to catch up! Please contact your GP practice to book an appointment if your child needs one or more doses of the MMR vaccine.

This week is your last chance to have your say on the location of local cancer services.

The NHS is asking for your views on plans to relocate services currently provided at Mount Vernon Cancer Centre. As well as moving the main Mount Vernon service to brand new cancer centre next to Watford General Hospital, there are also plans to provide radiotherapy nearby at Lister Hospital in Stevenage or at Luton and Dunstable Hospital.

We want to hear what patients, staff and the public think of the proposed changes and how they would affect you.
But hurry – the consultation ends on 29 March.

đź’» Visit the Mount Vernon Cancer Centre services website for info on the plans.
