Only call 999 in emergency - ambulance service

People in Jersey should not call 999 unless immediate medical assistance is needed, the ambulance service says.

The service said its officers were under pressure with a high volume of calls and having to hand over patients within the hospital.

People could call their healthcare provider or pharmacist for non-urgent medical advice, it advised.

"Non-emergency calls may cause delays in us responding to life-threatening situations," it added.
