So “outside normal working hours” means “at weekends and nights” The word “this” means “calling 823307 and sending a recorded message” at weekends and nights (while telephone 826969 on normal working days at 8.30am - 5.00pm from Mon to Fri, as mentioned in paragraph A) From all connections above, the answer must be paragraph B

They will be able to answer many of your initial queries and also act as a link with the rest of the team. They may request brief details of your symptoms or illness - this enables the doctors to assess the degree of urgency
  Note When it comes to “who”, we can somehow know that the paragraph must be related to “people”. So Paragraph C(nurses), D(patients), F(receptionists) can be put into account. Basing on the keyword “general information”, we can exactly locate the suitable paragraph, F by easily finding its paraphrase, “basic information” “initial” is paraphrased by “first” in the question. Basically, they (meaning receptionists) will answer first questions relating to basic(or general) information. From all evidence shown above, the answer is clearly paragraph F
