The number of patients going online for health information this winter has increased by more than half, the Department of Health (DoH) has said.
It said daily visits to the NHS Choices website from October to December were up 56% from 235,000 to 368,000, compared to the same period in 2010.
The rise was partly due to people searching for advice about norovirus - the winter vomiting bug, it said.
Searches were up 162% over Christmas compared to the same period in 2010.
