Emergency Contacts Page
If you require either the Police, Ambulance or Fire Service please call 999.
Call NHS 111 when it’s less urgent than 999
111 is a new urgent 24-7 telephone service making it easier for you to access local health services. If you’re in Lincolnshire, you can now call 111 free when you need help fast and can’t wait for a GP appointment, but it isn’t a 999 emergency
