Well, to be honest, it doesn't make sense to have licensed vehicles that only work 7-9 am and 2.30-4.30 pm, during term time only.

That said, I'm not sure many of the drivers who are used to working the above hours will be too keen to cover any hospital night work.

And when doctors or theatre staff need to get into the hospital, they need to go straight away, not wait for drivers to wake up and get dressed first.
