Update regarding the ongoing temporary closure of Mile End X-Ray.
Unfortunately, our staffing shortage has continued and despite a few of our new starters now commencing their roles, as they are still undergoing inductions/training, they will not be able to be added the main rota as full-time staff and thus remain as supernumerary. Therefore, we are unable to release anyone to reopen MEH.
We will revaluate our staffing levels and update you by the week commencing 4th October, to see if we will be able to reopen by Monday 11th October.
As you have been doing, please continue to send your patients to RLH for imaging until further notice.
I sincerely apologise for this continuing on for so long, and we are trying our very best to reopen the service as soon as possible.
