SPT Provides Funding for Ardgowan Hospice’s Patient Transport Service
The motion
That the Parliament acknowledges the generous funding award worth £22,500 from Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT) to Ardgowan Hospice’s patient transport service, which helps get people to and from hospital for treatment; understands that this funding will be used to cover vehicle running costs and drivers’ expenses; recognises the tremendous benefits this service brings to Inverclyde, with it being responsible for some 3,000 journeys covering in excess of 70,000 miles each year, and thanks the 34 volunteers involved for being so willing to use their own vehicles to pick patients up from their front door, and waiting until their treatment is finished before taking them back home again.
