Fat patients 'prompts ambulance fleet revamp'

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-12287880


	Quote: Some patients are getting so fat that ambulance bosses are having to revamp their fleets to cope, the BBC has learned. Every service in the UK has started buying specialist equipment, data from freedom of information requests show. This includes wider stretchers, more lifting gear and reinforcing existing vehicles. Many have also bought specialist "bariatric" ambulances - costing up to £90,000 each - to ferry the most obese.

why not use these instead?

That’s assuming you can get them out of the door.
