THE Teesside Asthma Group presented Marske Medical Centre with £245 yesterday for equipment for patients with lung conditions.

The group helps doctors surgeries and hospitals with donations of medical equipment or training in asthma care.

It held coffee mornings and tombolas to raise the money for software to run a spiro-meter for patients with asthma and other lung complaints.

Anne Harrison, on behalf of the asthma group, said: "The group had also been donated four unused nebulisers from patients not requiring them now and we had these cleaned and serviced ready for use in the Marske area.
