The special non-emergency telephone number is being distributed under strict guidelines to ensure that only people who really need the service have access to it.  A person can register for this service if:

• They have a disability or illness that affects their ability to hold a telephone for long periods of time, such as arthritis
• They have a condition that affects their behaviour or memory, such as Alzheimer’s disease.
• They become easily confused or agitated due to their illness, which sometimes can be aggravated by stressful or prolonged situations, such as Parkinson’s disease.
• Their ability to communicate effectively is hindered by the symptoms of a medical condition or as result of an injury, such as a stroke or brain injury.
