SCAS urge England fans to celebrate responsibly

South Central Ambulance have posted on Facebook, urging fans to stay safe ahead of tonight's big match.

The ambulance team who look after Bucks say they’ve seen an increase in alcohol related injuries during the tournament and are asking to act responsibly while cheering on England.

The message from Paul Jefferies, Assistant Director of Operations at South Central Ambulance Service said:

“It is fantastic for the country to see the national team making history tomorrow, particularly after such a difficult time for so many, and everyone at SCAS will be willing the team on to success in the final.

“It has been reported widely how much pressure the NHS is under and we have been talking openly over the past couple of weeks about how that has been affecting our ambulance service across 999, 111 and patient transport.

“Over the course of the Euro 2020 tournament we have seen a rise in alcohol-related incidents and injuries and it has been a concern given the increased demand for healthcare we are seeing. So please enjoy the occasion, have fun and cheer the team on but enjoy yourself responsibly.

“As pressures remain high on our 999 and 111 services we would urge people to utilise the full range of urgent healthcare options available if the situation is not immediately life-threatening, including using NHS 111 online at 111.nhs.uk for guidance and advice.”
