999 and 112 are the emergency numbers in the UK. People abuse those all the time, too! I think it's just awful and potentially costs lives. I think jail would be a bit harsh, but a £1000-£5000 fine would be appropriate.
Our non-emergency number for the Police is 101. I think this was only introduced recently, at least I only heard about it around 6 months or so ago. Hopefully that is taking the strain off 999 and 112!
