Information about travel costs as for some patients, carers and relatives travel is essential in order to receive care and treatment and support a patient’s care plan. We are a large organisation, spread across a wide geographical area and travel may be lengthy, costly or there may be poor access to public transport. This can widen health inequalities and potentially have serious consequences for the health of patients. Therefore, the Trust is committed to supporting patients, carers and relatives travel as part of an overall package of care.
