The NHS has lost the contract to run some ambulance services in Cornwall, Somerset and parts of Devon to a private company best known for operating car parks.

NSL, formerly NCP, is to take over patient transport from the South Western Ambulance Trust.

Clinical commissioning groups said it would mean such transport was available for longer hours at the same cost.

The union Unison said it was concerned about standards and quality of service.
