Of course, if our resources were to be under pressure due to an unexpected event (e.g. Major Service Outage) then we would prioritise those At Risk/Vulnerable customers. Should you deem yourself to be At Risk or Vulnerable, this should be advised to us in writing or at the point of order for consideration.
