In a nutshell: This parliamentary debate acknowledges the excellent emergency and urgent care services in the UK and the recent strain placed on these services from winter viruses. The debate covers the improvement of acute hospital services and development of specialist centres where appropriate but highlights the concerns of the College of Emergency Medicine on proposals to establish urgent care centres. Public involvement; the contribution made by community first responders; and a proposal to introduce a single telephone number to access urgent and emergency care services are also discussed.
