Ambulance service issues plea to Derbyshire residents amid pressure caused by high level of demand
The ambulance service for Derbyshire has issued a plea to residents amid a high level of demand – putting pressure on the organisation.
The East Midlands Ambulance Service (EMAS) has urged Derbyshire residents to only call 999 in a life-threatening emergency – amid a high level of pressure caused by increased demand.
An EMAS spokesperson said: “We are currently facing a high level of demand on our service.
“Please only call 999 in a life-threatening emergency, so we can get to those patients who need us most critically.
“Only call us back if the patient’s condition changes, or if you no longer require our service.”
