Postmen are to start checking on vulnerable residents during their rounds as part of a Royal Mail scheme.
Checks on the elderly and frail will be introduced as part of a new health division with a trial planned in Northumberland. If successful, the scheme could be rolled out nationally.
Postmen and women already provide a similar role informally as they regularly visit millions of homes and get to know customers.
