Sic Transit"Sic transit..." is a study of the hospital travel needs of older people in Hamble le Rice. There were 163 responses from the sample of 316 questionnaires sent out, a 52% response rate. Most people complain about the lack of information: how to get to hospital, how to park, how to pay, the times of the appointments, how to find clinics how to contact taxis, what financial help there is and how to get it. Most patients, 69%, use prvate cars. Lack of car-parking spaces causes stress and missed appointments. Parking charges seem exorbitant and payment difficult. Recommendations are made to the Hospital Trust, the transport and local authorities, Southampton City Council and bus operators. Click here to download "Sic Transit":
