THERE will be changes to opening times for some local healthcare services over the bank holiday weekend.

People are reminded that many minor complaints such as coughs and colds can be treated by staying at home, resting and making sure you have a well-stocked medicine cabinet.

Your local pharmacist can give advice or medicines for minor ailments.

Pharmacies open on Good Friday, Easter Sunday and Easter Monday can be found at www.isaandeforme.com.

Some GP appointments will be available across the county on Saturday, April 4.
