People across Surrey are being urged to use 999 and 111 wisely this Easter weekend.

The annual reminder is coming from South East Coast Ambulance Service.

Paramedics say they expect to handle more than 13,000 calls to its 999 service and 18,000 calls to NHS 111 over the long weekend.

Last year alone, its 111-service dealt with 1,600 calls from people requiring repeat prescriptions.
