No, not for acute hospital services or outpatient appointments. It is for community appointments. However, the big issue is not community appointments or getting to see the public health nurse. People can manage that. The problem is when they must go to Galway and fork out €150 or €200 to get to that appointment when the appointment is for 9 a.m. instead of giving them an appointment for 11.30 a.m. or 12 noon, when they could possibly get to it through the transport service. That is my point.
