Local GP urges people to drink responsibly during the fesive period

A Plymouth GP is urging people to help NHS staff this Christmas and avoid binge drinking.

Alcohol related incidents account for a significant proportion of those needing medical care over Christmas.

Many GP practices and pharmacies will reopen again today but will close for the New Year celebrations.

Locals are being reminded that they can contact Devon Doctors out of hours and that the Cumberland Centre at Devonport will be open to treat minor injuries such as fractures or cuts which may not need hospital treatment.

NHS Direct can also be contacted on 0845 4647
