Today, the NHS released a new national policy regarding the availability of weight loss injections.

However, currently there has been no decision made on whether GPs in Lancashire & South Cumbria will be commissioned to prescribe these medications.

Please DO NOT contact your GP requesting this medication or for further information as we won’t be able to assist.

For any further queries, please contact the ICB via email: lscicb-fw.patientexperience@nhs.net

Please see information below from Burscough Library around an event to celebrate Autism acceptance month for children aged 4-8 years.

Join us as we read 'Pablo's Feeling's'. A story about a boy with autism who sees the world in a different way. Together, with his friends the Book Animals, he learns how to let people know what he is thinking when his face won't show what he is feeling.

After the story, we'll practice drawing different expressions before making our own self-portraits showing how we feel on the inside.

This event is best suited to families with children aged 4-8.
