We do this, but the number we quote is an Ambulance service around 40
miles away. We thought there might be patient resistance to ringing
this strange number, but not a peep.
I'm considering a personal number though. However, the expensive
ones are 07000 xxxxxx, the cheap ones are 07020 xxxxxx. I suspect
that either of these numbers might cause our older patients some
concern!
