title: Telephone services. Wired for sound.
abstract: There is some evidence that the British public would like to see an expansion of telephone advice lines. Exact demand is difficult to predict, but some research suggests that 500-1,000 nurses will be needed to staff a national service. The government's timetable for establishing a national service by 2000 is unrealistic.
