Text message regarding care of children

Action: Please issue following text message to encourage parents and carers to use services in normal way.

Dear parent,

We hope your child is well. We know you want to keep them safe. We want to reassure you that you should contact your GP if you have concerns about your child being unwell despite the disruption to our lives caused by coronavirus. Coronavirus is unlikely to make your child unwell, but other illnesses may make your child severely unwell. You should not delay in contacting your GP if you have concerns about your child’s health. Your GP is available to give advice, and can rapidly obtain specialist advice from hospital paediatricians. Please trust your instincts and call your GP or NHS 111. Together we can keep your children well.
