Laundry services provided by social care services or health partners are available in some parts of North Yorkshire but only for people who have problems related to continence.
If you have any other queries relating to incontinence laundry services, please speak to your social care services worker, if you have one. Alternatively, talk to your doctor. You can find your local doctor or GP using the NHS - find and choose services website.
For people in residential or nursing care, continence supplies are provided free as part of the arrangement with the home. The staff at the home will be able to give you more information about the service.
