I received a letter today from the hospital stating that as from October all cataract surgery has been cancelled and moved to a Hospital a long distance away. I am not allowed to drive because of the surgery and my OH cannot drive the distance. I have no idean how we are supposed to get there and back.
A little bit of concern for local issues would be a good thinig from both parties.
Not sure where you are but there is a community scheme with drivers who can do that for you, for a small fee. Check with your local community Health.
You are right, Az, there are various schemes which can help. I know a disabled woman who sometimes is driven to appointments in a car. I think it is a Commonwealth service, I cannot remember the sign on the car and cannot find it by googling. I have also seen a multi-passenger vehicle around with the same logo. As you say, there will be local community schemes also. Also the Home Assist service drive older people to appointments. Don't know anything about costs for any of these.

$20 mill allocated?? that's a drop in the ocean compared to the billions Rudd/Gillarg/Rudd have wasted. He gave that much to have more live music in pubs.
