You gotta love that state of affairs! The Ambulance Service seems to get used by members of the public as nothing more than a low-cost Taxi. Well, low-cost is a bit of of an exaggeration. No-cost, really. What's to stop a person ringing for an Ambulance with "stomach pains". Getting a lift up to A&E, and as you off-load them, getting magically better and discharging themselves from your care and popping into the Shopping Centre next door?
