– Cost of relevant calls

13B

  • (1) The contractor must not enter into, renew or extend a contract or other arrangement for telephone services unless it is satisfied that, having regard to the arrangement as a whole, persons will not pay more to make relevant calls to the practice than they would to make equivalent calls to a geographical number.
  • (2) Where a contractor is party to an existing contract or other arrangement for telephone services under which persons making relevant calls to the practice call a number which is not a geographical number, the contractor must comply with sub-paragraph (3).
  • (3) The contractor must—
  • (a) before 1 March 2017, review the arrangement and consider whether, having regard to the arrangement as a whole, persons pay more to make relevant calls than they would to make equivalent calls to a geographical number; and
  • (b) if the contractor so considers, take all reasonable steps, including in particular considering the matters specified in sub-paragraph (4), to ensure that, having regard to the arrangement as a whole, persons will not pay more to make relevant calls than they would to make equivalent calls to a geographical number.
  • (4) The matters referred to in sub-paragraph (3)(b) are—
  • (a) varying the terms of the contract or arrangement;
  • (b) renegotiating the terms of the contract or arrangement; and
  • (c) terminating the contract or arrangement.
  • (5) If despite taking all reasonable steps referred to in sub-paragraph (3)(b), it has not been possible to ensure that, having regard to the arrangement as a whole, persons will not pay more to make relevant calls to the practice than they would to make equivalent calls to a geographical number, the contractor must consider introducing a system under which if a caller asks to be called back, the contractor will do so at the contractor’s expense.
  • (6) In this paragraph—
  • (a) “existing contract or other arrangement” means a contract or arrangement that was entered into prior to 1 March 2016 and which remains in force on 1 March 2016;
  • (b) “geographical number” means a number which has a geographical area code as its prefix; and
  • (c) “relevant calls” means calls—
  • (i) made by patients to the practice for any reason related to services provided under the contract, and
