Do hospital letters get sent out by royal mail priorty

In the UK, hospital letters are typically sent out by the NHS (National Health Service) using the Royal Mail's standard postal services, not Priority Mail.

The NHS uses a variety of postal services to send out letters, including:

1. First Class Mail: This is the standard postal service used for most hospital letters. It typically takes 1-2 working days to arrive.
2. Second Class Mail: This service is used for less urgent letters and may take 3-5 working days to arrive.
3. Special Delivery: This is a tracked and signed-for service used for important or sensitive documents, such as test results or appointment letters.

Priority Mail is not typically used by the NHS for hospital letters, as it is a more expensive service and is usually reserved for urgent or time-sensitive items.

However, it's worth noting that some hospitals or healthcare providers may use private courier services, such as DHL or UPS, to send out sensitive or urgent documents, such as test results or medication prescriptions. In these cases, the documents may be sent using a tracked and signed-for service, but this would not be the same as Royal Mail's Priority Mail service.
