Really depends on your location, your issue and how busy they are. I’m in Edinburgh and it’s always been within 2 hours when they’ve called back and got me sorted with an out of hours appointment.

Depends how busy they are. They normally tell you what the wait time for a callback is when 111 arranges it though.
