Extra ambulances ready for the bank holiday
Amy Gladwell
BBC News Online
Extra ambulances and staff are being made available to respond to the increased demand expected over the bank holiday weekend in the south west.
A spokesman for South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust (SWASFT) said paramedics also want to remind people to "stop and think before dialing 999 for an emergency ambulance and to consider alternative treatment options if appropriate".

Demand is already up 3.8% on last year’s figures for August, with 54,667 incidents recorded across the south west region for the month so far, the trust said.
Examples of when to call 999 include choking, chest pain, stroke, serious blood loss and unconsciousness, it said.
Less serious conditions can be helped by a pharmacy, Minor Injuries Unit (MIU), NHS walk-in centre, or calling NHS 111, it added.
The record has been broken in Devon for the Guinness World Record for Welly Wanging, organisers said.
Eight hundred boots were thrown in the air at the same time at the Holsworthy & Stratton Agricultural Show, apparently breaking the previous record of 636.

The attempt was carefully marshalled and assessed by an independent adjudicator, organisers said - but has not yet been officially verified.
Once paired up and sorted, the wellingtons will be "exported to help people in countries less well-off and in need of footwear" through Launceston Rotary Club and Refugee Support Group, a show spokesman said.

Political Reporter, BBC Radio Cornwall
Staff who work for the outsourcing company Mitie at the Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust are staging a protest over pay and conditions.
The firm took over the so-called "hotel services" which includes everything from cleaning to portering and security in a controversial seven-year contract that started in 2015.
BBCCopyright: BBC
One employee told the BBC that he earned £1 above the minimum wage when he was employed by the NHS, but that figure now stands at 3p under with the Mitie contract.
The BBC has contacted Mitie but it has declined to comment.
Quote Message: Mitie staff, who do some of the lowest paid jobs in the hospital - they're cleaners, porters, catering assistants - and they haven't had a pay rise for at least four years. They work for Mitie, which is a private contractor so not part of the NHS. Their colleagues in the NHS have had a pay rise, they haven't had anything." from Simon Wintle Unison South West
