We will provide updates as soon as more information becomes available.”It is not known how many people were affected by delays in reaching emergency services.
“Our patients were, however, still able to manage their appointments or send in their queries via the NUHS app and our e-mail channels,” said the spokesperson, adding that its phone lines were fully restored by 5.35pm. “One thing I was very worried about was the 999 and 995 numbers,” he said. “What happens if there’s a fire?”
