Medical records

When Gesy started did they say our medical records kept in folders would be transferred to the computer system ?

Has it happened for anyone ?

Re: Vaccination portal

Good point Dee , I know a lot of people have found it hard to set up a user account .

I think I read somewhere that if people are of the age to get the vaccine they can get their GP to arrange it .
