Take a look at the additional support we have identified across Cumbria.
NHS - 111 (24-hour service)
111 is a new telephone number introduced by the NHS. You should call NHS 111 if you require advice or medical treatment quickly. If someone needs emergency treatment, you must call 999. An emergency is when someone needs medical attention to save their life.
