THE public has a final chance to have their say on changes to NHS services in the Tendring district.

Residents across north-east Essex are being asked for their views on how health and social care services could be provided closer to their homes in the future.

A consultation on the Care Closer to Home and Urgent Care proposals has been extended until February 23 and two meetings have been lined up as part of this.

They will take place: at the CVST Community Information Centre, Rosemary Road, Clacton, on February 12 from 4pm to 6pm and from 7pm to 9pm; and at Brightlingsea Town Council offices, Victoria Place, on February 18 from 4pm to 6pm.
