A NEW 16-page free tabloid newspaper with local NHS news and information is to be delivered to homes across Somerset.
'You and Your Health' is produced three times each year by Dorset and Somerset Strategic Health Authority on behalf of NHS Trusts and Primary Care Trusts throughout the two counties.
The 200,000 copies of the Somerset edition will be delivered door-to-door or left at central points in rural locations.
The paper, launched by the former West Dorset Health Authority over a decade ago, has been redesigned and the latest edition is the first to cover Somerset.
Each edition contains a four-page pull-out-and-keep guide to local health services with information about who does what in the local NHS along with a range of details such as Patient Advice and Liaison Services, NHS Direct and addresses and telephone numbers to access advice and information.
