People need to stop going to A&E for every minor problem
REGARDING the pressures on A&E departments.
People need to stop going straight to A&E for every minor problem.
Ring NHS direct, take their advice.
My little girl was ill before Christmas and we rang NHS direct and we had an appointment with an emergency local doctor within the hour.
A&E is for life threatening issues/injuries, not coughs, colds and minor stomach pains.
