In the recent past, I have been a volunteer car ambulance driver and know what wonderful work and fund raising these mostly volunteers do for the hospital.

If this goes out to invited commercial organisations, for sure they will keep the profits and the hospitals and patients will lose out.

With the NHS in dire straights for money, I am horrified that Mr Jones would like to deprive us of the good service and funds which the Friends raise for the living.
