i would have thought depending on how much work needed doing, that would decide on how many mechanics they employedOriginally Posted by SimonH
So, you'd pay to kit out a workshop with all the tools, ramps etc, then pay mechanics to work there, say 3 or 4 to work on a fleet of say on average 10 ambulances that need maintenance say once a month. Doesn't sound financially viable to me, surely it's be cheaper to contract it out
what are you saying they only work for 1 or 2 days a month ?
biggest cost to most companies is the wage bill, so a private company would have to employ a mechanic and charge more to the NHS than if the NHS employed a mechanic themselves as the private company has to make a profit, and that means charging the NHS more
