We never changed emergency numbers. It might have referred to when we changed directory enquiries from a single one operated by your phone provider to multiple options with the prefix 118 xxx. Or perhaps when we extended emergency services to also have non emergency numbers for police and health issues.
Otherwise it’s been 999 for decades (with 112 also routed to the same).

The original comment did read like it was an actual thing happening in England, though

It did, but the numbers never changed.
I’ve lived in England for all of my 36 years and it’s always been 999.
