East Midlands Ambulance calls are highest they have ever been, says emergency call handler

Emergency call handlers for East Midlands Ambulance Service have said they are the busiest they have ever been. Since the start of the pandemic, GPs have been working shifts in the Nottingham call centre, treating some patients over the phone. It is designed to relieve the pressure on paramedics and hospitals as Covid-19 cases climb again. Lucy Lester, emergency call handler said: "We're receiving double the amount of calls that we would normally receive on like a Friday night, Saturday night or New Year's Eve, almost on a daily basis. "When you can see that there are 10 to 15 calls waiting to be answered...you do start sort of thinking that it's quite scary and what if somebody that I know is in that queue?"
