Ambulance hoax caller warning

Wednesday, July 4th 2012 06:54

South Central Ambulance say they'll prosecute people they catch making hoax calls.

The Service has just picked up an award for a video highlighting the dangers of inappropriate use of 999.

Demand for the service has doubled in the last 10 years.

The 999 Misuse Costs Lives campaign was launched in January 2012 in response to SCAS receiving 1,235 hoax calls during 2011.
