    Pharmacists in Somerset say it's becoming difficult to get hold of some medications, including for epilepsy and high blood pressure because of a national shortage of some drugs, made worse by the Iran war. The government has agreed to help by temporarily increasing what it pays pharmacies.

    Free gym memberships are being offered to people living with Parkinson's in Somerset. The scheme provides access to gym, swimming and group exercise classes at leisure centres run by Everyone Active.
