Petition Stop the use of number withheld in the NHS and Doctors surgeries

More details

Please stop the use of telephone systems in the NHS and Surgeries that do not display a phone number. I and many others do not answer calls that are 'number withheld' or 'Private number' and have consequently missed important calls. This must be costing the NHS a lot of money in wasted time by clerical staff, as well as annoying many patients. I believe that BT is starting a system to block number withheld calls, which will not be a bad thing.
