More than £6,000 has been spent on taxis to get NHS staff to work in Blackpool, a Freedom of Information request has revealed. 

The Blackpool Gazette report:

Heath chiefs in Blackpool today came under fire for spending more than £6,000 on taxis to chauffeur staff to work.

NHS Blackpool paid out £6,300 in cab fares for staff to go to and from the Whitegate Drive Health Centre in just 12 months.

Bosses say the cash was spent to run a park and ride scheme for staff to ensure there was enough patient parking at the site.
