Here here! Unfortunately some people fail the "common sense" test though and call ambulances for all sorts of things that you or I would go to the pharmacist or doctor for (cough, cold, "man flu", sprained ankle etc.). I personally think along the same lines as you - if someone calls an ambulance and it is not an emergency, they should still be treated, but also charged (or fined) for that privilege. I wonder if that would make some people stop and think before dialling 999?
