Thurrock families will soon have access to a rundown of health services in the area.
The borough's NHS Primary Care Trust (PCT) is delivering the guide to homes this week.
The "patient prospectus" contains a wide range of information about services available in Thurrock.
These include everything from GP addresses and phone numbers to biographies of the PCT's top staff members.
It also outlines the trust's budget and its priorities.
The PCT is responsible for a wide range of services including "buying" treatment for the people of Thurrock.
