service providers (Clinical
Professionals) to be available to answer questions about your health and

change the Clinical Professionals allocated to you for any other reason, please contact us using the
details above.

opinions in relation to some symptoms or medical conditions, and this does not mean that there is an error in our provision of the Chat Services to
