I agree with your recent editorial comment on the subject of wasted calls to the emergency services.

But I would go further.

This sort of nonsense could be brought to a halt with the emergency services and the hospitals invoicing the offenders for the total cost involved.

This would save us taxpayers from having to foot the bill.

There’s nothing like hitting people in the purse. It concentrates the mind wonderfully.
