Leyland GP surgery apologies after sending 'blunt' mass text message about Dying Matters

Patients at a Leyland GP surgery have hit-out after a mass text message about dying was sent out. It is understood that the message - about a Dying Matters event on Saturday, May 4 - was directly addressed to each patient, and sent without warning yesterday. Some patients who are fighting cancer have taken to social media saying they thought it was pointedly sent to them, and found the communication shocking and inconsiderate.
