Petition Fine people who call 999 or show up to A&E without life threatening problems.

One in three calls are emergency and life threatening injuries. Two out of three are not. We can prevent wasting £8.50 on those who call 999 or show up to A&E wasting the healthcare’s time when they have other services they can utilise. Fining a person can help to deter these time wasting problems.
