Obamacare advocates already have theirs here! NHS staff drive fleet of taxpayer-funded luxury cars


Fat lifestyles and corrupt graft in government, never ...



NHS staff drive fleet of taxpayer-funded luxury cars - Telegraph
7-2-12

An NHS quango has provided its staff with a £1 million fleet of luxury cars, including a BMW convertible, an Audi TT and three Range Rover Evoques.

National Procurement, a branch of the NHS National Services Division, arranged for staff who are deemed to be "regular users" of cars for business to get the cars through a taxpayer-backed vehicle-leasing scheme.
The role of National Procurement, which is funded by the Scottish Government, is to buy medical supplies for the NHS, and to "increase savings" for the health service.
Figures provided by National Procurement in response to a Freedom of Information request showed that 40 employees, or one in eight members of staff, had used the 4x4s and convertibles to drive to work. Much of the insurance, petrol, road tax and leasing is funded by the state.
The total value of cars leased since the programme began in October 2008 is £971,000.
The NHS pays for the vehicles through monthly rental charges rather than buying them outright.
