Patients in Ushaw Moor are to benefit from a new blood pressure machine thanks to a parish council's fundraising efforts.
Representatives from Brandon and Byshottles Parish Council presented a cheque for £800 to staff at Millyard House Surgery on Friday.
A surgery spokeswoman said: "We were invited to one of the charity events, which many of us attended, and we've been aware of the parish council's efforts for quite a while.
"We were very pleased to receive the cheque - it was very generous.
