LAS reckon its £160 per call cost to them (or us, as its a division of

Only a token fee for such calls. £50 is only a months Sky or a weeks
ciggies or 3 nights down the pub.

Not to mention numerous scroats od'ing on drugs and endless
drunks.

I'd agree. Alas 'duty of care'.

Cuts both ways people have a "duty of care" to themselves.

Slippery slope. If you decide to restrict or whatever treatment for those

take part in dangerous sports?
