RE: About time 999 calls were charged at 500 pounds
About time 999 calls were charged at 500 pounds, refundable in actual cases of emergency. It would either stop misuse of resources or fund extra resources, a rare win-win situation.
It would also kill a lot of people. e.g. She seemed a bit confused and started having trouble speaking. I didn't know what it was, but I didn't call an ambulance because I couldn't really afford £500 on the off-chance and I thought it was probably nothing anyway.
