PEOPLE are being invited to share their experiences of mental health services in Hambleton and Richmondshire.

Two new drop-in surgeries are being piloted by the Hambleton, Richmondshire and Whitby Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) in Northallerton and Richmond during March.

The sessions are designed to be informal opportunities for patients to give feedback and suggestions on how the services can be improved.

The surgeries will also be attended by lay governors of Tees, Esk and Wear Valley NHS Foundation Trust.

If successful, similar surgeries will be rolled out on a regular basis at locations across the districts.

The surgeries will be held in Northallerton Town Hall on Monday, March 31, from 1pm until 3pm and at The Station, in Station Yard, Richmond on Wednesday, March 19, from 12.30pm until 2.30pm.
