This National No Smoking Day, let's encourage our patients to quit smoking for good. Smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer, responsible for about 85% of cases. 10% of people survive lung cancer for more than 10 years: Let's break that cycle together. https://t.co/W5Elg0KFWt

In Feb👇 you were told 70,000 RPSS issued with remaining 60,000 "majority should be issued by end of Feb 25"

an ongoing IT issue, and we do not have a timeline for when it will be fixed.

[Elspeth Spencer @Spuff_78]

@goldstone_tony I haven't received RPSS or PSS despite request earlier in year so emailed to chase and got the response in the thread. Do you know why a manual calc is required? Do you know what the IT issue is?
