It is sometimes difficult to decide whether to call 999 for an Ambulance. You should do this in a critical or life-threatening situation, for example if someone:-

• is unconscious
• is bleeding heavily
• has suspected broken bones
• has a deep wound – such as a stab wound
• has difficulty in breathing
• has severe chest pains or a suspected heart attack
