Health bosses around the North East are urging vulnerable people to "stay switched on" amid rocketing energy bills by applying for extra support if they're eligible.
The new campaign is highlighting that many people who might be disabled, recovering from illness or injury or simply looking after young children could be able to sign up for the priority services register - which can ensure your energy supplier is aware of any extra needs you have.
This can mean priority support in an emergency, help reading your gas and electricity meters, and even help reconnecting your gas supply if necessary. It's a free service and health leaders in our region want to ensure people have that "extra peace of mind" this winter.
