The Buggy (similar to an electric golf cart) enables less able patients to be driven to and from the hospital from all car parks and entrances located around the hospital site. The Buggy Service is free to use and is run by a team of trained volunteer buggy drivers.
The Patient Buggy Service trial will launch with reduced operating days, before building to Monday to Friday morning and afternoons, excluding bank holidays.
