The ambulance service in South West England is close to declaring major incident status, bosses say. The South Western Ambulance Service Foundation Trust said demand at the weekend on its 999 and non-emergency 111 numbers had been extremely high. People facing a life-threatening emergency or needing urgent medical help should still call 999, the trust said. Otherwise, patients should consider visiting a GP or seeing a pharmacist. Much of the increase in demand was believed to be down to the four-day Christmas holiday period from Thursday to Sunday, when other health providers such as GP surgeries were closed.
