The Bristol Eye Hospital arranged for an ambulance to collect me from and home and bring me back after my appointment. It is an absolutely wonderful service and I'd like to say a BIG thank you to the hospital for arranging it and to the ambulance service for transport they provide.
What I can't understand is why I cannot use this service when I have to go for appointments to the Bristol Royal Infirmary. When I call the Great Western Ambulance Service, they say it's means tested and I cannot use it. I live in Weston Super Mare and using a taxi is very expensive on my pension.
