Poorly children in hospital can now swap wheelchairs for four wheels and DRIVE themselves to surgery - in these mini electric cars. The motorised vehicles are being used at a hospital in Leicester to make the journey into surgery a more positive experience. Kids booked in for operations can now drive themselves through the wards and corridors and arrive in theatre with a smile on their face. Bosses at the Leicester Royal Infirmary revved up their new fleet of model cars for the first time earlier this week.
