Chesterfield Royal Hospital issued a statement to patients today, saying they were continuing to develop their plans for the bank holiday on Monday, September 19 for the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II.

Most GPs across Chesterfield and Derbyshire are expected to close for the bank holiday, and will not be making appointments for in-person or telephone consultations.
Patients are also asked to order any repeat prescriptions they require in time to ensure adequate provision over the bank holiday. GP practices usually require 48 hours notice to organise a repeat prescription.
