An ambulance service continues to face high demand.

South East Coast Ambulance Service (Secamb) said on Monday that it is still under intense pressure.

This comes after the Euro football tournament put increased strain on the service.

A spokesman for Secamb said it was working to ensure patients in need were being seen by paramedics and given the right treatment.

They said: "Pressure on our services remains high.

"We're working hard to respond to all who need us as we prioritise our response to our most seriously ill and injured patients."

People are reminded to use 999 only in emergencies and to use NHS 111 either online or on the phone for other advice.

Those with minor illnesses should speak to a pharmacist about the best course of action.
