As part of the period of mourning, Monday 19 September has been declared a Bank Holiday to allow people to observe the state funeral of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
The North Wales Health Board, Betsi Cadwaladr, will be running services in line with normal Bank Holiday arrangements.
A spokesperson said: "We are working hard to ensure any disruption is kept to a minimum. Anyone who has an appointment/ procedure within any of our services that day should assume it is going ahead as planned unless told otherwise.
"There is no need to call us as we will contact any patient whose appointment/ procedure needs to be re-arranged.
"If you have an appointment/ procedure for Monday which you no longer wish to attend, please let us know at the earliest opportunity using the contact details on your appointment letter, or by cancelling your appointment online."
Urgent and Emergency services and Betsi Cadwaladr Urgent Primary Care Centres will run as normal. GP Out of Hours services will also continue to be available.
Some GP practices will be open on Monday, 19 September and the health board advises people to contact dental, optometry and community pharmacy providers to confirm available services on the Bank Holiday. There will be no change to emergency dental services.
Across North Wales Covid vaccination centres will be open for pre-scheduled appointments. Currently the vaccination booking team is contacting members of the public to offer an alternative date for those booked in on Monday, if preferred. Scheduled care home visits will be maintained and delivered as planned.
