A HEALTH organisation will launch its annual report at a public meeting in Darlington this week.

County Durham and Darlington Priority Services NHS Trust is holding its annual meeting on Thursday at the town's football stadium, in Neasham Road.

This year's report incorporates a calendar, featuring a series of photographs using people's hands as personal portraits.

The artwork was developed by people at West Park Hospital, in Darlington, including patients and staff. Each photo is designed to provide an insight into the person.

There will also be an award ceremony for staff, with people who work in local mental health services recognised for their achievements and dedication.

Trust chairman Jo Turnbull said: "Our annual meeting and award ceremony will give us the opportunity to reflect on our achievements over the past year, recognise the commitment of our staff and look forward to the future development of services."
