Last Christmas/ New Year Midoc GPs managed over 4,700 contacts to the service and had more than 1,000 contacts alone on St Stephen's Day.

Due to the way Christmas and New Year are falling the service is warning that it expects to be busier than ever and patients may face delays getting through to the service at peak times or waiting for a call back.
