It is envisaged that this will be a personalised advice, triage and onward referral service that is responsive to people's urgent health needs when they are referred to the (CNH) following a call to the NHS 111 service which gives advice to health professionals in the community to provide clinical advice and support to decision making and admissions avoidance effort.
