Background

Current situation with landline calls to NHS 24 using 084 prefix

NHS 24 currently charges all landline calls at a local rate using the 084 prefix. This prefix is a non-geographic number used by businesses and organisations to provide a wide range of services such as sales lines, customer service/enquiry functions and recorded information services. Businesses or organisations using 084 numbers may receive a share of the call charge. Ofcom1 notes that these numbers are generally more expensive to call than ordinary geographic numbers. However, calls to NHS 24 are charged at a local call rate.


Clueless NHS 24 thinks it knows better than Ofcom with regards telecommications issues.  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

NHS 24 continues spouting the nonsense that calls to its 0845 number "are charged at local rate."  Lips Sealed

Ms Sturgeon has been reminded that the same principle applies to all NHS providers.
