An independent inquiry is needed into the NHS non-emergency 111 phone line "debacle" in England, GPs say.
Doctors at the British Medical Association's GPs conference in London said lessons had to be learned after the "disastrous" roll-out of the service in recent months.
The phone line - which has replaced NHS Direct - has been dogged by reports of calls going unanswered and poor advice.
GPs said they had seen their workloads increase because of the problems.
