NHS 111 online assessments and triaged calls for acute respiratory infections decreased during week 10. NHS 111 online assessments for diarrhoea were stable, however assessments for vomiting decreased during week 10.
Please note: due to a technical issue, there was limited data availability for NHS 111 triaged calls from Saturday 1 to Monday 3 March 2025, with very low call counts on Sunday 2 March. Data and trends for week 10 should therefore be interpreted with caution.
