Thames Ambulance Service is a private ambulance service based on Canvey Island. It had a sub-contract for patient transport services in Sussex with Coperforma. In November 2016 it proposed to make the staff redundant, claiming it had not been paid since June 2016.[1] The Care Quality Commission inspected it in 2017 and ordered it to improve after it found issues with found cleanliness, infection control and hygiene.[2] It took over patient transport services in North East Lincolnshire in October 2016. Six extra ambulance crews were brought in to temporarily support the local operation.[3] It started a contract for patient transport services in Hull in April 2017. Staff who were transferred from Yorkshire Ambulance Service were told that they would not be paid overtime and expenses in the first month because of “cash flow problems”. After the Clinical Commissioning Group intervened they were paid.[4] The local branch of the health union UNISON said that workers remained concerned about the problems with payment.[5] It won a five-year contract worth £28 million in Leicestershire and Rutland from October 2017, taking over from Arriva.[6] References1. ^{{cite news|title=Thames Ambulance Service staff face job losses|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-sussex-37893803|accessdate=30 May 2017|publisher=BBC News|date=7 November 2016}} 2. ^{{cite news|title=Thames Ambulance Service ordered to improve after inspectors find dirty equipment and dry blood in vehicles|url=http://www.echo-news.co.uk/news/15236638.Private_ambulance_service_ordered_to_improve_after_inspectors_find_dirty_equipment_and_dry_blood_in_vehicles/|accessdate=30 May 2017|publisher=Echo News|date=21 April 2017}} 3. ^{{cite news|title=Six crews from Thames Ambulance Service help out in Grimsby area|url=http://www.grimsbytelegraph.co.uk/six-crews-from-thames-ambulance-service-help-out-in-grimsby-area/story-29848581-detail/story.html|accessdate=30 May 2017|publisher=Grimsby Telegraph|date=28 October 2016}} 4. ^{{cite news|title=Private ambulance firm blames 'cash flow issues' for staff pay delay|url=https://www.hsj.co.uk/7017858.article?mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTW1Nek9HWmxZekkxWm1FMCIsInQiOiJ3YWFuZ1c5SHBYUjJaK25yVnlBTDBhaGlRMzRaZG05ekNodUtva1Q1ZTdTSEl1VXNodk5GQk9XNU1FT2YrQllPVElONVlsYVRXcWtpaUVSOFh0VzBLT3dSUjZtOW95UXQwdDc2b2ZuNTBlZFlsY3JURlZucTBPWU5LUHdhaEx3bCJ9|accessdate=30 May 2017|publisher=Health Service Journal|date=11 May 2017}} 5. ^{{cite news|title=Union urges health bosses in Hull to cancel private ambulance contract|url=http://www.itv.com/news/calendar/update/2017-05-03/union-urges-health-bosses-to-take-contract-away-from-thames-ambulance-trust/|accessdate=30 May 2017|publisher=ITV|date=3 May 2017}} 6. ^{{cite news|title=New company to take over patient transport in Leicestershire|url=http://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/new-company-to-take-over-patient-transport-in-leicestershire/story-30247608-detail/story.html|accessdate=30 May 2017|publisher=Leicester Mercury|date=4 April 2017}} 4 : Private providers of NHS services|Ambulance services in England|Companies based in Essex|Canvey Island |
