Can I just say how difficult it is to actually enforce the policy. The usual response from people, especially medical staff , is something along the lines of "bolleaux" when you ask them to switch off their phones.
"Absolutely no evidence to say that there is any problem with medical equipment.." they continue.
Apparently there is a letter in some journal which is being quoted as a reference for this but enough people have given me witness accounts of problems for me to want to try and enforce the policy as it stands.
