Leicester Hospital Transport changes to 0845.
Jul 8^th, 2012 at 5:23am

When the PCT changed the supplier they let them offer a 0845 number to book transport.

See: http://www.thisisleicestershire.co.uk/Stranded-hours-hospital/story-16493462-det...

Arriva the new supplier have recently been awarded a number of NHS contracts to deliver non-emergency patient transport (NEPTS).

See:http://www.arriva.co.uk/arriva/en/business_activities/transport_solutions/atsl_a...

I wonder how many other trusts have agreed to 0845 use.
