The water supply at our Wetwang branch has been unexpectedly disrupted, due to this we have taken the decision to close the branch for this afternoon (Friday 12th June). If you are needing to collect medication before the weekend, these can be collected from Driffield, please contact the surgery on 01377 243055 to discuss further if required.

If you have enough medication to last you the weekend we would appreciate it if you could wait to collect until next week when normal service has resumed.

Our Driffield surgery is open as usual.

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused.
