Hospital transport

For people who are in receipt of Pension Credit, Family Credit, or a Low Income Certificate (HC1) and have a hospital appointment there may be financial assistance available for the travel costs to hospital.  Contact the cash office at the appropriate hospital for further details.

Non-emergency ambulance transport is only available for patients who are unable to get to hospital by any other means, i.e. they are too ill and/or disabled to use a private car, taxi or public transport.  Patients are screened to assess their health needs and, where they do not meet the criteria for ambulance transport, alternatives are suggested.

The Broxbourne Health Shuttle provides low cost transport to local hospitals, whether for appointments or for visiting.

Herts Travellink offers information on all types of transport available in Hertfordshire, including voluntary car schemes, bus and train timetables and community transport.
