Considering the large numbers of "maternataxis" that seem to be called, would it not make sense to have an ACTUAL maternataxi service? It couldn't be as expensive as using the ermergency system to provide such a service surely? I ask this because, if you don't have a car, it is genuinely not all that easy to be flexible. A number of private taxi firms, for example, won't take heavily pregnant women in case they leave a mess in their taxi. And what if your friend with the car has left their phone at home, or the car won't start. There are conceivably scenarios where pregnant women may have serious difficulties getting to a hospital.
