The article says that only 20% of calls result in emergency response. That's appalling, in my opinion. Thankfully I've only needed to call 111 once (a guy randomly turned up on my doorstep bleeding from the face) but the call got through quickly.

It is appalling but I do not suppose the consequences of misusing the system are particularly onerous.

Well by Jesus, if my auntie had a beard, I'd have called her uncle.

I particularly like the justification for lack of wireless charging because…
