COTS has recently received queries relating to patient care and/or duplicate referrals through to COTS for patients already undergoing a programme of care via the BPAC system. For any GP queries relating to patient care, once they have been referred and accepted to the COTS service, please use the email address COTS.Clinic@bopdhb.govt.nz. This will enable us to investigate the query and respond in a timely fashion, without the delay of the newly generated referral. We thank you for your support of the COTS service.
