A HEALTH worker will benefit from a trip away after winning a holiday.

Dawn Rowell, an occupational therapist at the Rutson Rehabilitation Hospital, Northallerton, won the holiday in a competition run by the local health branch of Unison.

Mrs Rowell entered its competition and won a one-week holiday for up to four people at Croyde Bay, North Devon, after a prize draw held at the hospital offices.

"This is fantastic," said Mrs Rowell.

"I could hardly believe it when I got the call to say I had won such a super prize.

"I never win anything and my husband was even more shocked when I phoned to tell him the good news."
