Having an elderly parent in much the same position I thought I might want
to do the same as Mark one day. I rang the admin office of my local
(English) 111 provider (first question - how did you get this number, it's
for professionals only. Me: it's on your website, Them: oh, we must get it
removed) The upshot of the conversation is that they said 111 would not
"triage" my mother unless the person calling on her behalf was in the same
house, so there was no point in trying to call from elsewhere. Anyway, I'd
caution against 111 anyway. Last time I used them they wanted me to drag my
mother, who had just fallen, into hospital on my own. After giving up on
them and calling 999 the resultant ambulance crew took her into hospital
under blue lights and she went straight to the resus bay, bypassing all
queues. She then spent three weeks in hospital with a serious lung
infection. I think if I'd followed 111's advice she might have died.
