<p>We do not operate a hub and spoke network as such. In line with the FCO’s Consular
Strategy 2013-2016, we focus resources on those who need us most and are most at risk.
We route calls to all our consular posts overseas to three contact centres in Malaga,
Hong Kong and Ottawa. Urgent cases, and those that require local support, are passed
to posts across eight consular regions.</p><p>The number and location of our consular
posts is based on the number of British nationals travelling and living overseas,
and the number and complexity of consular cases. The number of posts in each region
is as follows:</p><p>Eastern Europe & Central North-Eastern Asia 25<br>Europe
North 26<br>Europe South 36<br>Latin America 18<br>Middle East, North Africa &
South Asia 37<br>North America & Caribbean 23<br>South East Asia Pacific 23<br>Sub-Saharan
Africa 37</p><p>In support of these posts there are 217 Honorary Consuls operating
in 86 countries.</p><p> </p>
