Looks like its a "patientline" message...bedside telephone for someone in hospital & they've mixed the number up....costs an arm & leg to call them anyhooo...just delete & move on!

Numbers starting with 070 are premium rate, 'personal' numbers, commonly used by Nigerian scammers. Personally, I would ignore it because it'll cost you a lot to phone the number back.
