South Central Ambulance Service (SCAS) are currently in Resource Escalation Action Plan (REAP) 4 (extreme pressure).
SCAS are asking to only call 999 for life-threatening emergencies and to use NHS 111 online for urgent medical advice (111.nhs.uk) wherever possible and appropriate to do so.
This will direct people to the most appropriate service – including alternative options such as pharmacies, GPs and urgent treatment centres.
