HEALTH bosses have raised concerns over the extent to which frontline workers and patients will suffer mental health problems after the pandemic has ended. Suicide rates in Tendring and Colchester are the second and third highest in the country, according to the most up-to-date data from the Office of National Statistics. The findings take into consideration the number of people who took their own lives between 2017 and 2019. Worryingly, the suicide rates in Tendring and Colchester are nearly double the national average per 100,000 people, while the rate across Essex has been higher than the national average for at least the past five years.

The Covid-19 vaccine clinic at St Helena Hospice in Clacton RESIDENTS across Tendring fear they are “being left behind” over the rollout of the Covid-19 vaccine. Clacton MP Giles Watling raised residents’ concerns at a Zoom meeting with Nadhim Zahawi, the minister in charge of the vaccine rollout. Mr Zahawi told Mr Watling that the Army would be used to distribute the vaccine in the district and it is understood a mass vaccination clinic could be opened at Clacton Hospital as early as next month. Residents have also been left upset that Walton’s Columbine Centre, which had been earmarked as a vaccination centre, has not yet been opened.
