Revealed: Leeds NHS Trust spends £200k on taxis for patients
AN NHS Trust in Leeds spent more than £200,000 last year on taxis for patients, it has been revealed.
Across the country, millions are being spent every year on transporting patients by private cabs when they are too ill, frail or unable to travel to and from appointments by themselves.
The figures, analysed by the Press Association, come from data supplied to the “Health and Social Care Information Centre” for 2014/15 and from individual trusts.
