They are if you need to get to the hospital and don't drive!

call an ambulance.

Nope, they don't come out for everything. Premature labour for one, both the missus and her friend have been told that an ambulance will not come out and they must get a taxi (or make their own way there somehow)

In Southampton taxi drivers are given a bit of leeway when it comes to getting people to the hospital. Their cars (well, the 3 companies I've used) have these sat-nav type jobbies in there that flash up emergency calls (for the taxis), plans the quickest route and notifies the hospital that they're on route.
