Priority is given to repairing telephones of all practising doctors during normal working hours. Attention to faults outside normal working hours is confined to consultants on call and key medical personnel in major hospitals. Such priority may also be afforded to the telephone number on call in areas where a panel of doctors exists to provide a 24 hour "on call" service. Exceptionally, special maintenance attention is given on an occasional basis where humanitarian or exceptional circumstances apply.
Details of the addresses of area telecommunications sales offices to which all requests for priority maintenance attention should be addressed are set out in the preface to the appropriate part of the telephone directory.
