Important Notice : Weekly ward surgeries #dundeewestend

Normally, my Monday West End Ward surgeries would be taking place later today at Harris Academy and the Mitchell Street Centre.

After much thought, I have taken the decision to suspend surgeries with effect from today, given the on-going situation concerning Coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

I am very conscious that many of the residents who attend the three surgeries I run every week are elderly and at higher risk.   

It makes no sense to hold public surgeries when all residents can contact me in other ways and residents are very welcome to call me at home on Dundee 459378 or by e-mail at surgery@frasermacpherson.org.uk.

I feel sure residents will agree this is a responsible decision given the present health emergency and I will review matters in the coming weeks.
