however, is there a way of delivering the results such as

Cwm Taff NHS Trust Medical Records

Dr Purby Medical Records

Answer 1

This can’t be done using the results to grid functionality in SSMS. However, if you use the results to text option and replace your CHAR(13) with CHAR(10), you’ll get the desired results.
