To clarify......the call takers do try and educate people that they are perhaps misusing the service and the only one of my examples that got an ambulance dispatched was the leg cramp - in case it was a DVT (deep vein thrombosis). It wasn't.
Unless the call is an actual hoax - as opposed to an idiotic call - then no, there is no fine that can be issued.
We still give the callers a hard time though if we attend a bullshit case.
My partner loves telling them that they need "10mg of Toughen The Fuck Up."
