Brentwood Gazette
|December 17, 2025
THE East of England Ambulance Service (EEAST) has moved to the highest alert level due to a “huge spike in demand”.
Thousands of extra calls have been received by the East of England Ambulance Service
EEAST has moved to Resource Escalation Action Plan (REAP) Level 4 in response to sustained high demand on the service and handover delays at hospitals increasing.
In the week ending November 30, EEAST - which covers Cambridgeshire Bedfordshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk and Suffolk - took almost 24,000 999 calls from the public - an increase of nearly 3,000 calls on the previous week.
That number continued to increase last week, with more than 24,400 calls received.
