We are aware that some individuals have recently received communications from the Department of Health already. Any individual patient who feels they have been put on the clinically extremely vulnerable list in error, or who feels they may have been omitted from this list in error should contact their treating metabolic centre directly for advice.
The MPS Society is actively engaging with clinical teams on this matter, to ensure clear communications for our patient communities. Please look out for updates on our social media channels or contact our Support and Advocacy Team if you need to speak to us.
