3rd August 2010,
Health secretary Nicola Sturgeon will today launch the new NHS inform one-stop health advice service.
The NHS inform website and non-emergency telephone helpline will give members of the public in
Scotland the chance to seek general advice on everything from alcohol consumption to finding a dentist.
The £550,000 service will be run by NHS 24 and is intended to complement that service, which is for callers who have symptoms and are seeking advice on treatment.
There are also plans to provide face-to-face information to members of the public, but the launch date for this has not yet been set.
