The Patient Participation Group Transport Problems
I am fortunate in now having a car. However, it was not always so,
there was a time 15 years ago when I relied on public transport.
One of my fellow PPG members champions the cause of effective public
transport from Droitwich to local hospitals in general, and the Princess of
Wales Hospital in Worcester in particular. The purpose of this page is
to support him.
Now there used to be a number 22 / 22a bus that went from Droitwich via
Claines to what was then Newton Hospital, and is now the bigger, better
Princess of Wales Hospital.
I Have Broken Down the Problem Into a Series of Questions
- How big is the demand for a bus service from Droitwich to the
Princess of Wales Hospital in Worcester?
Possible answers from:
i) A
petition in the local surgeries.
ii) Data from the previous 22 bus
service. Presumably it was taken off because it was not
profitable?
Supplementary Question. Would a more direct route be
better rather than going through Claines?
- Is it true that all other town of comparable size to Droitwich have
a bus service to their local hospital?
- If so, who can authorise such a bus service for Droitwich? Who
understands the rules of who can commission a bus service?
