Few supermarkets do this, and someone can probably make an excuse. I'd rather everyone who didn't need to drive to hospital didn't.

Oxford is a case in point. Basically the only provider of a number of Oxfordshire health services is Oxford JR. Oxfordshire meanwhile is a long rural county. Driving is the only practical option for most people, patients and staff alike.

Oxford has one of the country’s best bus services, though?

For people in Oxford it's not bad, though views would differ depending where you are. Oxfordshire though, bus service is city-centric. The council mandated a connection one. This means despite so many efforts to make car journeys longer it still takes longer on the bus. Working people are time poor.
