It's been a busy year for the group answering requests for medical equipment and it is now planning a fresh programme of fundraisers to boost their funds. The first of these will take the form of a film show of animals in Arctic by Karen Munro, at the canteen of Caithness General Hospital at 7.30, on Friday (October 25). As well as financing medical equipment, in the county, the heart support group also acts as a social forum for people who have heart conditions before and after operations.
