Since the original announcement was made warning of the shops closure, St John Commercial Services has been working with Mercury Distribution to provide continuity for the supply of certain healthcare products.
Discussions are also ongoing with other parties about potential continuity for some other parts of the healthcare operation.
St John said it also continues to work to support the shop staff at this difficult time. It employs 15 people – 13 full time and two part time.
During the weeks leading up to the shop closure, it will be open on weekdays between 09:30 and 16:30.

The Healthcare Shop has been managed by St John Commercial Services along with the Training Services which will continue beyond the shop closure.
