Self Help Touch Screens
We have recently secured funding from NHSCT/M&EA Borough Council and Dept for Communities to install digital self help touch screens providing the latest information and criteria for Welfare Benefits. Each terminal also offers free access to our Reception and Telephone Advice line and also the Welfare Reform Telephone Helpline.
We currently have a terminal installed in Ballymena Health Care Centre, our head office at 4 Wellington Court, Ballymena town centre, with new terminals to be installed shortly in Glenlough Community Centre, Carnlough and in the Whitehead/Islandmagee/Ballycarry area.
We are working closely with rural towns and villages to secure funding to install self help terminals in community hubs across M&EA to provide free access to our services.
