Update to ME/CFS service in Suffolk

From 1 August 2025, ECCH will no longer be providing ME/CFS services for patients in Suffolk (excluding Waveney).

Patients living in other parts of Suffolk will be supported by a new provider, Suffolk GP Federation.

If you are affected by this change, Suffolk GP Federation will be in contact with you during August 2025 to seek your communication preferences and provide you with the new service contact details.

Please note: ECCH continues to provide ME/CFS services in Norfolk and Waveney as usual.
