Last Update: 20th April 2020
With the impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic, there has been a lot of information becoming available from several sources. In addition to regular updates from government organisations, the FPRA Office is receiving useful advice from members of the Committee and Honorary Consultants, normally only made available to their own clients.
From 18th March the links had been added to the front page. This page now consolidates those articles and links which can be kept up to date.
