TRANSPORT PROGRAMME
The Irish Cancer Society run a free transport programme for patients struggling to get to their chemotherapy appointments. We are really struggling to get referred patients to hospitals as demand for the service grows on a monthly basis so we are doing a national volunteer driver recruitment. Please note that all drivers get their expenses back (0.24cens per km, €8 towards some food and all road tolls are paid) and the service is completely free to the patient. Patients are identified as being in need by the hospital social workers / nurses and referred to the service for transport to and from treatments.
