The original case was someone went to Wycombe Hospital with acute appendicitis. The A&E was closed and he had to go to Amersham.
He and his wife have recently been granted asylum and have no money whatsoever at this point in time. He was operated on at midnight and she was unable to stay in the hospital and had to get and pay for a bus back to Wycombe in the early hours. Whilst everyone in thankful for and glad about the operation itself, it appears that no one has given a thought to inter hospital transport arrangements and have made an assumption that all patients can afford taxis to and fro.
