AN increase of winter bugs has caused an unusually high number of 999 calls for South East Ambulance Service NHS Trust (SECAmb).

SECAmb is taking action to safeguard patient care while the number of emergency calls continues to increase.

A number of measures are being put in place to manage the increased demand which include extra front-line crews on the road dealing with emergency calls and clinically-trained staff will be redeployed to areas of increased 999 calls.
