The national BT technical issue with the 999 call system yesterday (Sunday) has now been fully resolved and the service is running as usual. Anyone with a serious or life-threatening emergency should call 999 for assistance in the normal way.

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

Thank you to the public for their support and understanding.
