Councillor Tim Day has congratulated a joint project between NHS Lothian, East, West & Midlothian Councils & City of Edinburgh Council. The project to make it easier for people to access hearing aid batteries has recently won an award at the Scottish Sensory Awards.
Cllr, Day, the local authority spokesman for community wellbeing said:
"The project has brought together a range of partners and added another community service provided at our libraries.
"This service not only offers considerable savings for service users in travel and time but also added convenience as libraries and health centres are open some evenings."
