Description

The Authority requires a transportation service for Renal patients residing in the catchment areas of Oban Lorn & Isles and Mid Argyll & Kintyre. Provision of services to other areas of Argyll including Cowal and Bute, Helensburgh and Lomond may be requested from time to time and will be subject to mutual agreement between the Authority and Contractor. NHS Highland (Argyll and Bute HSCP) requires a transportation service for patients residing in the catchment areas of Oban Lorn & Isles and Mid Argyll & Kintyre. The main Renal Units accessed by patients from both areas are at various locations including within Argyll (Campbeltown Hospital) the Highlands (Belford Hospital, Fort William) and Glasgow and surrounding areas (mainly Vale of Leven Hospital, Alexandria). This remains subject to change. Journeys are required up to 3 times per week per patient usually from their home to their Renal Unit and return for patients to receive Dialysis. Dialysis appointments maybe spread across all seven days of the week and will include public and statutory holidays. Provision of services to other areas of Argyll including Cowal and Bute, Helensburgh and Lomond may be requested from time to time (subject to mutual agreement). This service is for patients that while chronically ill, can walk unaided.
