There was an issue with the 999 system yesterday. This is now resolved and the service is running as normal. Anyone with a life threatening emergency should call 999 for assistance in the normal way.

A full investigation is underway to understand what caused this problem.

Calls to 999 are now being received following an ongoing BT technical fault. If you need assistance for a serious medical emergency but can't get through on 999, please use 111 which will redirect you. For less serious illnesses/injuries use 111.nhs.uk.

There is an issue affecting the national 999 call system.

BT is working to resolve this issue as soon as possible but, in the meantime, if you are unable to contact 999 in a medical emergency, please call 111 who will redirect your call.
