Help with the cost of travel to hospital
If you have to go to hospital for outpatient appointments or treatment, you might be able to get help with your travel costs. If a friend or family member needs to come with with you, you might be able to get help with their travel costs too.
If you live in England, Scotland or Wales, use the NHS website’s checking service to see if you can get help with your travel costs.
If you live in Northern Ireland, visit the NI Direct - Help with health costs page to see what support is available.
