A COMPREHENSIVE guide to health services in Hambleton and Richmondshire has been published by the local primary care trust.

The publication lists useful information such as contact details for GP surgeries, dentists, pharmacists and opticians.

It also gives a break-down of exactly where money has been spent.

Copies will be sent to homes across both districts but will also be available in a range of community-based locations.

Trust chief executive, Chris Long, said: "We wanted to produce a guide which people would want to pick up and read so we developed a brighter and more interesting format this year."
