This petition is now closed, as its deadline has passed.
We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to prevent local health centres and hospitals from using 08 numbers such as 0844, 0845 or 0870. More details
Submitted by Guy Mayhew – Deadline to sign up by: 28 November 2009 – Signatures: 51,449
Local health centres and NHS medical practices should be banned from using 08 numbers or offer a local 01 or 02 number alternative for booking appointments, as health centres make a profit using these numbers. For example, an 0870 number costs 10 pence per minute (whereby 4.5pence per minute goes to the local hospital).
