Hi,
070 numbers can be charged as well, and a lot of hospitals use these.
They cost significantly more than 087

Thinking about it, I'm guessing your hospital number was 087, rather
than 07, which would indeed be a charged premium rate number.

Hi George,
Please see my note to Trace regarding the calls to my brother while he
was in hospital; I believe that this was the hospital, or their
management company, who are still responsible to the CCG who were
responsible for this as a means of adding to the coffers. While they
do need to cover costs the need of patient's relations and friends should not
be forgotten.
I guess this might be getting a bit political so I will stop here.
Regards, John

Trace brings up a very good point here, so have started a new thread.
"The phone companies are actually as bad in some ways, take the
premium rate numbers that in the past people have rung not knowing
they'd be charged an arm and a leg for doing so, the phone companies
say that they can't do anything about them, of course they can as its
the phone companies who we pay our bills to and so it must be they who
pass on the money, hardly roket science not to is it."
I have no objections to paying a reasonable telephone fee for support.
However what really does brass me off is being on hold to these
numbers for an excessive length of time while being told, "Your call
is important to us
- please hold."
George
