I REFER back to my own letter (Patients ride free, July14). I am pleased to report that I have been advised that there is a voucher scheme between York Hospital and First Group.

If patients with a concessionary travel pass have a hospital appointment requiring travel before 9am, they may collect an appointment voucher from the hospital.

The voucher is valid for one journey to the York Hospital – even if this means you need to catch more than one bus to make the trip.

The voucher is for use with your pass on the specific date, for one person on services operated by First only.

My thanks to York Hospital and I hope this information is useful to patients.
