A £750,000 investment in equipment for a county's care homes includes inflatable 'lifting' chairs.

Care home resident Tere Lattanzio sat in one of the new lifting chairs as part of a demonstration.The NHS is to invest £750,000 on training and kit to allow Somerset care home staff to help residents who fall.

Somerset's Chief Medical Officer Dr Bernie Marden said: "It's often not the fall itself which causes the problem, it's being left [on the floor]."Rolling it out should ease NHS pressure as ambulances will not be required, the NHS says. At Grovelands Care Home in Yeovil staff said they have had to wait in the past for up to 10 hours for an ambulance to arrive to help with a resident who had fallen over.
