London Ambulance Service Buckles Under Call Volume

London Ambulance call handlers are swamped, taking nearly 400 calls every hour today. They urgently urge the public: only dial 999 in a real emergency.

Pressure Mounts on London Ambulance Service

A spokesperson said, “We’re really busy and our staff are working tirelessly to reach the most seriously ill and injured patients first.”

Save 999 for Life-Threatening Situations

If you’re feeling unwell or have medical questions but it’s not life-threatening, don’t tie up emergency lines. Instead, head straight to NHS 111 for advice.
