Health experts are reiterating calls for poorly people to seek early advice in a bid to cut the number of hospital visits.
NHS England is launching a new campaign - The Earlier, The Better - on Monday, aimed at encouraging people not to store up their health problems.
The eight-week campaign is part of a strategy to drive down A&E attendances across England as well as emergency admissions to hospital that could have been avoided.
A major concern is the high numbers of frail and elderly people admitted to hospital for respiratory problems and other chronic conditions that can become worse in the winter months.

I'd probably have to wait longer to see the pharmacist than a GP, they are constantly making up prescriptions 🙄
