Choose carefully before you ring 999
PEOPLE are being urged to think carefully before going to hospital or calling for an ambulance in a bid to help health services.
People should only call for an ambulance if it is a genuine emergency or a life-threatening situation, the service has said.

It says that injuries such as bites, cuts and sprains can be treated at the hospital's minor injury unit.
