It is not for routine enquiries, such as booking an appointment with your GP, repeat prescriptions, test results etc. You can contact NHS111 by dialling 111 or by going online to NHS111. Calls are free from land lines and mobiles but 'pay as you go' mobiles do require  at least 1p credit.

Your local pharmacy can give you advice about minor ailments and have remedies that may tide you over until the surgery re-opens.
