Del Curtis, Director of Cheshire West Health and Care Partnership, said: “Health and Care services come under even greater pressure during the winter months.

“This winter, the ongoing threat of COVID-19, combined with a potentially tough flu season, will place services which are already close to capacity under even greater strain. Please play your part by ensuring you are vaccinated against COVID-19 and flu and by keeping as warm and as active as you can.
