In passing, I have just heard the topic of use of 0845, rather than 03. numbers by HMRC raised by Andrew Turner in the Christmas adjournment debate in the Commons. As this is an opportunity to raise any issue of concern to any member, there may well be others in this debate. A minister has to answer each one in summing up.

The forum is fortunate in having members who trawl Hansard from time to time to keep this thread up-to-date as a record. Anyone prepared to take on this task on a regular basis would earn my great thanks.

If I have the time I will fill in many recent references, including one on the floor of the house that I solicited and heard in person. If and when appropriate, I will edit this posting to remove these comments.

16 Dec 2008 : Column 663W

Non-geographical Telephone Numbers

19. Rob Marris: To ask the Secretary of State for Health whether he plans to discontinue the use of 084 telephone numbers in the NHS. [243649]

Mr. Bradshaw: We am considering discontinuing the use of telephone numbers such as 084 in the NHS, where the cost to the patient of calling those numbers is greater than the cost of a local rate call. We therefore launched a public consultation today on this issue, which is due to run until 31 March 2009, and which will inform the Government's decision on the future use of such numbers in the NHS.

NHS Dentistry

16 Dec 2008 : Column 949

Rob Marris (Wolverhampton, South-West) (Lab): Telephone services have an effect on access to NHS dentistry and to GPs. What is the NHS doing to cut back on the very regrettable but widespread use of 084 telephone numbers, which cost patients extra money? It is a scandal throughout Government, with thousands of 084 numbers being used, including a lot in the NHS. What are the Government going to do about that?

Ann Keen: I thank my hon. Friend for that topical point. We have announced and launched a public consultation today on this issue, which is due to run until 31 March 2009. It will inform the Government's decisions on the future of such numbers in the NHS. I certainly share my hon. Friend's concern about those actions, as do the ministerial team.

The supplementary oral question from Rob Marris referred to as the second itme in the above posting was sneaked in to the Commons proceedings under the guise of being relevant to access to NHS Dentistry. This waqs done partly in the hope of giving other members a chance to ask further questions about the consultation process. As it happened those who caught the speaker's eye during the remainder of this session of questions had other more pressing or serious matters to raise.

At least it gave the issue a brief hearing on the floor of the house. A video recording of the incident is available here

House of Commons Hansard Debates for 18 Dec 2008 (pt 0012)
Christmas Adjournment

http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200809/cmhansrd/cm081218/debtext/8121...

18 Dec 2008 : Column 1283

Mr. Andrew Turner (Isle of Wight) (Con): […] On a different issue, my constituent, Mr. Gower, is concerned that despite the availability of 03 telephone numbers, Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs continues to use 0845 numbers, which, as they are not available as part of package deals, typically cost the consumer more than local calls. A complaints manager at HMRC has confirmed that it is looking into alternatives to the 0845 system that would offer benefits to users. As long ago as June 2007, the consumers organisation Which? found widespread confusion about the prices of these non-geographic calls and recommended that they be replaced with 03 numbers. Will the Minister ensure that work on looking at alternatives to the current system is prioritised?

Notices of Motions for which no days have been fixed
(‘Early Day Motions')

410 BT SCRAPPING OF 0845 CHARGES 12:1:09
Mr Lindsay Hoyle
Mr David Crausby
* 2

That this House is pleased to note BT's decision to scrap the current fee applicable when calling the 0870 and 0845 numbers used by many banks, the NHS, government departments and utility companies; urges other telecommunications companies to recognise that to charge for such essential calls is an unfair anomaly in need of being rectified; and calls on the Department of Health to bring forward proposals to put into statute guidance preventing GPs' surgeries and health service organisations from charging more than the cost of a local call.

Departmental Telephone Services

Mike Penning: To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many telephone numbers for which callers are charged at the rate applicable to 0845 numbers are used by (a) his Department and (b) its executive agencies for public access to services. [246973]

Mr. Bradshaw: The Department runs or supports six 0845 telephone numbers for use by the public.

Two of these numbers, those serving recruitment for social care and social workers, will be moved over to the new 0300 tariff by the end of February. The use of 0845 numbers for the other four lines is currently under review.

The Department's Executive agencies, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency and the NHS Purchasing and Supply Agency have no 0845 or similar cost telephone numbers for use by the public.

Mr. Kevan Jones: The use of 0845 numbers and others that charge at a similar rate is determined at local level in accordance with individual business requirements and obtained directly from the supplier. Records of such numbers are not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
