When drunken violent and/or abusive louts are being transported to hospital at great expense to the tax payer every night of the week throughout the UK, is it surprising that there isn't enough NHS money to go to the genuinely needy ?
If any form of privatisation is needed in the NHS right now it is in the area of 'patient' transportation and A and E costs.
ALL non-emergency transport not ACCIDENT-related should be billed to the recipient.
Costs related to excessive alcohol consumption...transport and treatment (breathalyse) ....payable immediately.
Time to toughen up on irresponsible idiots, timewasters and parasites.
Will anyone in our govt. have the guts to do it ? NO.
