It does. The injury was limb-threatening. And that's considered a high
priority call.


That's fair enough, but far from the "any call is an emergency *
life-threatening call" that has been much peddled.


As a member of the public it seems to be the sensible assumption though.

Maybe there will be hindsight applied to that incident as well.

Although this Councillor does seem to be capable of following the
similar rule "you don't respond to gratuitous abuse from trolls". (I
don't refer to you of course, but there's one or two attempting such a
wind-up here and dismally failing.)
