I’ve heard about this before, both before and after Covid and even though I’ve never got a text for one, I’m getting the impression that they are being brought in as mandatory, depending on what part of Manchester you are living in, according to some friends across Greater Manchester - I know that post-Covid, given reports from family and friends there, as an extension of the vaccine rollout post Covid, the HSE in Ireland are making these health checks mandatory in order to ensure vaccine and booster compliance and if you fail to respond to the texts or fail to turn up for the appointment, the next thing you know in Ireland is that the Gardai (Irish police) turn up at your door, as the Irish government during Covid made amendments to the Irish Mental Treatment act to enforce compliance with lockdown restrictions and vaccine mandates, which gives the Gardai the power to arrest and detain people under the amended Irish Mental Treatment Act, so attending these appointments is mandatory in Ireland
Or maybe they're doing health checks because noticing any problems so they can be dealt with sooner rather than later is better for patients, better for overloaded hospitals and more cost-effective.
Apparently I had a letter sent and didn't arrive. Then sent me SMS text messages.
