Calling 999.
The 999 service is for serious emergencies only. Please do not
call 999 unless you have to, or it may prevent the ambulance from
attending a genuine emergency.
If you are unsure whether you need an ambulance, you should
telephone NHS Direct on 0845 46 47.
If you spot someone in trouble at sea or on the coast or even if
you 'think' that someone may be in trouble , dial 999 and ask for
the Coastguard, or if you are in trouble at sea, call on VHF
Channel 16, MF 2182 KHz or use DSC.
For general safety advice, to
discuss the Small Boat Safety Scheme, or for any other general
Coastguard issues contact The Maritime Rescue Sub Centre on 0151
931 3341.
