This week we've seen a rise in patients with breathing difficulties partly caused by thunderstorms and high pollen count.

We're urging Londoners to keep safe this #BankHoliday weekend and save 999 for critical or life-threatening emergencies.

Our thoughts are with all of those impacted by this morning’s significant incident in Hainault.

Read the full statement from Darren Farmer, Director of Ambulance Operations for London Ambulance Service: londonambulance.nhs.uk/2024/04/30/lon…

We were called at 6.54am this morning to an incident near Hainault Underground Station.

We sent multiple resources to the scene. Working together with our emergency services partners, we treated five people and took all five to hospital.

Our crews have now left the scene.

Our 999 services are exceptionally busy this evening 🚨

By saving 999 for life-threatening emergencies, you can help our crews reach London's most seriously ill and injured patients.
