Paramedics preparing an ambulance at the ExCel centre in London
A DRIVER employed by a private ambulance operator was refused a coronavirus test despite displaying symptoms because it is too “expensive,” the GMB union said today.
The driver is employed by the HATS Group, which describes itself as “a leading provider of healthcare transport services with a reputation for professionalism and service excellence.”
HATS provides non-emergency patient transport for several NHS Trusts in London, including Croydon Health Services NHS Trust.
