Locally Easter marks the traditional start of the influx of visitors to the local area. This leads to an increase in demmand on local emergency services.
These calls come when the service is already under increased demand due to increased call levels , so please think do you really need to call 999 could your problem be dealt with by a pharmacist, the local minor injuries unit or walk in centre? Please let's make sure ambulances are available for those that need them.
As I write this the clocks have gone forward British Summer Time has begun, the sun is shining the beaches are full. OH wait, a gale of wind , a hail shower and more rain on the way situation normal for a bank holiday weekend!
Lucky to have two days off this weekend and then back in tomorrow I am sure it will be a busy day but the one thing you can count on is that all of your emergency service and NHS staff and volunteers will be there to provide you the care and help you need.
Responder and Co responders gave 2009 hours of their own time yesterday to help those in need across the SWASTFT area yesterday, when you look at the bigger picture across the whole country how many hours were given by volunteers? The amount must be staggering.
I hope you enjoy what's left of the weekend and above all stay safe.
