MEMBERS of the public are invited to attend a major health services meeting later this month.

The annual meeting of County Durham and Darlington Acute Hospitals NHS Trust will be held on Wednesday, September 28, at 9am.

It will be held in the top-floor meeting room at Chester-le-Street Community Hospital, and is expected to last half an hour.

Acting chairman of the trust, Tony Wolfe, said: "The meeting is a good opportunity for the public to find out how their local hospitals are performing.

"We have delivered a strong performance over the past year, and are working hard to improve services even further over the next 12 months."
