16th September 2022
Monday 19 September has been designated a Bank Holiday to mark the State Funeral of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
The Northern Ireland Ambulance Service will continue to provide a pre-hospital Emergency Service and will also support other HSC Trusts as they endeavour to maintain as many scheduled inpatient, day case and diagnostic services as possible.
As Emergency Ambulance Services throughout UK will continue as normal, the public, if requiring urgent or emergency care, should call 999 without delay. To assist us on the day, we would remind callers that they should not call back to check on arrival times of an ambulance as this blocks lines into Emergency Ambulance Control for others with an urgent need. All calls will be dealt with based on clinical need.
