One thing they could do is coordinate with English NHS Trusts and the "Crisis Care Concordat" to talk about conveying people who are mentally ill, who need to go to hospital, but who don't need a fully stocked ambo.

They'd have to make sure it was free at the point of delivery to the patient. They'd have to have good governance (so, actually doing background checks) and have better training for drivers.

But a non-medical (more normal) conveyance to hospital is probably something many people want.



Absolutely not, while Uber flaunts their noncompliance with TfL et al they should not receive a single penny of taxpayer’s money - and there’s the matter of them dodging employer’s NI thereby directly undercutting the NHS too.

Yes Branston is tax-dodging scum like the rest of them. If Fred The Shred got his knighthood revoked then so should he.
