Further guidance has been published on the use of 084 numbers in the NHS, clarifying a number of issues that have arisen since the publication of Directions to NHS bodies in December 2009. These include:

• What types of calls are included in the Directions and Regulations
• The role evidence should play when considering the use of 084 numbers
• The roles of the GP practices and other primary medical services contractors
