Covid Medicines Delivery Unit (CMDU) Service

This service is now closed and no longer accepting new referrals.

With effect from 31 March 2026, YHP will no longer be providing the above service across Humber and North Yorkshire. This follows a decision by the ICB not to commission this specific service beyond this date. The ICB is currently exploring alternative commissioning arrangements to ensure continued access to Covid antivirals for eligible patients, following the correct procurement processes.

Any queries should be directed to the ICB: https://humberandnorthyorkshire.org.uk/contact-us/
