 In many locations in Norway, the provision of land ambulance service is contracted to private operators, most typically large scale transportation companies operating a variety of types of service.Namsos Trafikkselskap (NTS) is an example of a private company participating in this type of arrangement for service delivery.While the majority of such arrangements are currently with Norwegian-based companies, this is changing, and international companies, such as Falck are beginning to contract for services in some areas.
