A crippling lack of ambulances has seen hundreds of desperately ill patients rushed to hospital by TAXI at a cost of £129,000.
One scandal-hit service ferried 27 critical condition patients by cab. Each was on a category 1 call – needing life-saving intervention or resuscitation.
A further 281 taxi rides were used for category 2 patients – with conditions such as heart attacks, strokes, sepsis or burns.
