While the efforts and motivation of these riders are eminently laudable, I find it appalling that such a vital service has to depend on volunteers.

Indeed - I'd heard of the blood-run bikes but not this service.

You'd have thought the NHS could at least have paid for their fuel though !

Interesting, not sure the Falco's ideally suited to that job. The hours I do could suit that though.
