In preparation for this strike action and to ensure patient safety NHS Ayrshire & Arran had issued letters to patients to cancel and reschedule appointments.

At this time planned cancellations will still go ahead unless patients are contacted directly, this is to allow us to re-establish the clinical services that were due to be impacted by the strike action.
