This gentleman attends outpatient appointments after a stroke. He recently waited more than 3 hours to be taken home, and was astonished to see another patient, who hadn't been waiting as long, being taken home to Workington in Cumbria (180 miles) by taxi, while local patients like himself were left in the waiting area.
