Figures released by the region?s NHS 111 service - run by Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust - show that it helped over 36,000 patients with their urgent healthcare needs.
NHS 111 has been introduced to make it easier for patients to get medical help and advice fast when they have an urgent need which is not an emergency.
The service is available 24 hours per day, 365 days per year and is free to call from landlines and mobile phones.
From Christmas Eve to New Year?s Day NHS 111 Yorkshire and the Humber responded to 36,151 calls and 99.3 per cent of these were answered within 60 seconds against a national standard of 95 per cent.
