It has excellent uses for non-deaf people too, for example if someone had a stroke and found themselves unable to speak, or if someone wanted to keep quiet for some good reason. While it would be nice I can understand their position, currently there are around 7000 I think registered deaf people in NZ. So once they have logged their details they can use this service. Now remember that changing address, phone, cellphone numbers means updating the database. Not too big a job with 7000 people but if you start adding in another million then wow it's very hard to keep those details up to date |

Just like in a normal 111 call, where you give them your address. |
