Patient Transport
Our Patient Transport Service is a core function that takes patients to and from their pre-arranged hospital appointments, or for their admission and discharge to hospital.
We usually pick up patients from their home and take them to and from their hospital appointment.
A hospital or clinic appointment does not mean that you qualify for ambulance transport. Patients are eligible for this service based upon medical need for transport or assistance.
The service operates with a wide range of different vehicles appropriate to the different types of patient we serve.
We really need to know if you no longer need ambulance transport, or if your mobility improves, so that the right type of ambulance is sent to you.
If you do not qualify for ambulance transport, you may be able to arrange transport with local schemes and initiatives. Alternatively you may be able claim help with travel costs to and from hospital. In some areas alternative assistance may be available. Please ask your hospital for further information.
