flag Wales urges 999 use only for emergencies on New Year’s Eve amid surge in non-urgent calls.

flag The Welsh Ambulance Service is urging the public to use 999 only for life-threatening emergencies on New Year’s Eve, as last year saw 1,045 emergency calls and 2,272 non-emergency 111 calls. flag Officials recommend planning ahead with prescription meds, drinking alcohol in moderation, avoiding driving under the influence, and steering clear of fireworks to prevent injuries and respiratory issues. flag Non-urgent medical concerns should use the NHS 111 Wales website. flag A first aid kit is advised for minor injuries, and people are encouraged to check on vulnerable neighbors, avoid cold-weather slips, and show respect to emergency workers.
