Closed Create an international phone number for UK emergency services.

Closed on

There have been cases in the media of people attempting suicide over live streaming on social media sites or posing a danger to themselves online. These situations have been streamed internationally but people in foreign countries are not able to report these incidents in the United Kingdom.

An international UK emergency service number, I believe, is vital and would allow for people abroad to report an incident first hand and potentially speed up the response to incidents of such a nature.
