Title: Calls to NHS 084x numbers
Post by terryhickmott on Sep 15^th, 2009 at 11:42am

Did anyone see the item on BBC Teletext yesterday that calls to any NHS 084x number are to cost 'no more than that of a local call'? The actual 'headline' said that the use of such numbers 'was to be made illegal in England' but in the detail there was just some guff about the calls costing no more than the caller would have paid for a local call.

Progress or fudge?

I initially thought it was a fudge, but really this is an understatement. There is already a long thread running on it in the public sector section of the forum:

Please continue discussion there and I'll remove this thread.
