Transport Services

Non-Emergency Patient Transport Service

For eligible patients who are unable to use public or other transport due to their medical condition, the non-emergency patient transport service (NEPTS) provides a vital service getting safely and comfortably to hospital or other healthcare centres for outpatient appointments.

If you need transport to social and health related local clubs, visiting a loved-one in hospital, nursing, residential home or to take you shopping please visit NeighbourCare Volunteer Service. As this is a volunteer service a small donation is requested.
