Calling for assistance

Calls made using 999 or 112 are identified and prioritised by the communications providers and forwarded to, and then answered by, call handling agents in one of six call-handling centres. The call-handling centres are owned by BT Plc, who operate the service on behalf of all the communications providers (mobile, fixed line and broadband). An agent at one of the BT Plc call-handling centres responds with “emergency, which service?”. The geographic location of the caller, which is normally automatically available, enables the call to be transferred to the relevant geographically located emergency service control room. Ofcom, the independent communications regulator, oversees regulation of the telecommunications aspects of the 999-112 service through the General Conditions of Entitlement. The statistics - 2022 35 million 999/112 calls a year, of which: 74% from mobile 26% from landline 28,000 eCalls (included in mobile %) Service Percentage of calls Police 44% Ambulance 53% Fire 3% Coastguard <1% 7 BT call centres. 144 local emergency services control rooms.
