Families with members who are at risk of, or have, certain medical conditions and are struggling financially are being prescribed fruit and vegetables by their doctors.
The pilot project, believed to be the UK's first large-scale "Fruit and Veg n Prescription", has been launched in a bid to tackle health inequality and food poverty.
Public health teams have joined with a charity which works to give families access to fresh fruit and vegetables, to run the £250,000 scheme.
