'The NHS typically sees increased demand over bank holidays and the early May bank holiday is no exception'
NHS and ambulance service bosses in the region have issued an urgent warning for the bank holiday weekend over demand on hospital and GP services.
As a result, the North West's medical director, Dr Michael Gregory, has urged the public to use services wisely this bank holiday weekend to ensure critical NHS services are available for those most in need.In a statement, the NHS in the North West said: "The NHS typically sees increased demand over bank holidays and the early May bank holiday is no exception, as 111 phone services and A&E departments see high numbers of people contacting them.
"This weekend is another extremely busy time for NHS staff and we are extremely grateful for them working tirelessly over this bank holiday weekend and the days after to ensure all those that need care receive it," he said. "The public can help us by using the right service for their needs, including 111 online for quick and easy medical help."
NHS 111 online is not available for children under 5. People looking for urgent medical help for under 5s should use the 111 phone line.
