101 Non Emergency Number Service

This Assembly notes the decision by the Home Office to cease direct funding for the non-emergency 101 number in Cardiff in 2008; notes the significant improvements the 101 number has made to policing in South Wales by cutting non-emergency calls to the 999 number, reducing the number of unnecessary and costly immediate police call-outs and improving the coordination and efficiency of the police and local authorities; is deeply concerned that these improvements will be lost if the 101 service is forced to close and calls on the Home Office to reconsider its decision over the funding of the  service.
