JOHANNESBURG - Did you know that requesting the services of an ambulance to take you or someone else to the hospital could cost you a few thousand rands?
According to Denver Ramnarain, director of ambulance services organisation Quick Response Services, the National Reference Price List for Ambulance Services (NRPLAS) released in January 2009 is used as a price guide. This does not refer specifically to ambulance prices, but to the services provided en route. Industry organisations have implemented an increase of 5% year on year to these prices, to account for inflation.
