A spokesperson for NHS Wakefield Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) said: “For many, Christmas and New Year is a time for celebration and a chance to enjoy a break over the bank holidays, but whatever your plans, don’t let falling ill ruin your long weekend. Wakefield CCG is reminding people that a number of local pharmacies will be open over the bank holidays.

“This means that patients can still access healthcare advice and support for common conditions from trained health professionals when their own GP practice is closed.

“Pharmacists can offer advice on common ailments such as coughs, colds and aches and pains.”
