The new service offers longer appointments, consistent opening hours across the county, and appointments are mainly booked through NHS 111 for urgent but non life-threatening health needs.

New guidance has been released to help families manage screen time for children under five.

After hearing from parents who wanted clearer advice on what’s appropriate and how to build healthy habits, the government has shared some practical tips:

👶 Under 2s: Avoid screen time, except for shared activities that support bonding, interaction, and conversation.
🧒 Ages 2–5: Try to limit screen time to no more than one hour a day. Avoid screens at mealtimes and in the hour before bedtime.
📺 Content matters: Choose slow-paced, age-appropriate programmes. Avoid fast-paced, social media-style videos and AI-based toys or tools.
👨‍👩‍👧 Watch together: Co-viewing—talking, asking questions, and engaging with what’s on screen—is much more beneficial than children watching alone.

You can read the full guidance for free on the Best Start in Life website. -
