If this was my relative I would not be happy either. Does he have any other way that he can get to and from the hospital?I would appreciate your thoughts on this please...
My dad has to have hospital treatment 3 times a week. He gets there and back via hospital transport which is either a taxi or a small ambulance. He usually travels alone.
However, yesterday they collected another patient and, going forward, this will be the new arrangement.
Am I right to be concerned that they are travelling in close proximity (albeit as far apart as they can sit) in the same vehicle?
They are mixing 2 households so if one is carrying it, then it is highly likely that the other will catch it.
I know this is a cost cutting exercise for the company and also that they are most likely overstretched at the moment but if my dad catches this, he will most likely die.
This transport service is not run by the NHS but is outsourced to another company.
If I’m overreacting please say because it is hard for me to remain impartial when it comes to my dad.
He should not be leaving the house at all with his health conditions but as he has no choice I want him to have contact with as few as people as possible.
Thanks for reading.
If they’re sitting 2 metres apart then it would reduce the risk a little.
