  I can appreciate all that you have said Diana; hospital transport is worse than a joke, it is dangerous for the patients and puts them under greater stress than their illness, most times.
  
  Forgive me asking, but if you have an electric mobility scooter, could/would you not use that to go to Buckland for a blood-test instead of a taxi ? most of them have a range of 30 + miles.
  You can't do that for Canterbury though obviously, but they do (currently) have 14 or so Haemodialysis workstations at Buckland. They used to have a Consultant visit Buckland once a week I think it was and that was very very useful, saved us time and money (and stress) going to K & C.
  
  Will you be doing haemodialysis or peritoneal ? Jean (my other half) does peritoneal and we/she finds that it gives her/us, a lot more freedom and she feels so much better than when she was on Haemo - she had a transplant that failed and was in Guys for over 6 months back in 2004, so had to do Haemo whilst there, but went back to Peritoneal when allowed home.
  
  Good Luck Diana.
