Motion Details
That this House welcomes Age UK's Painful Journeys campaign that is designed to raise awareness of older people's journeys to hospital appointments; is concerned that many older people have to make such painful journeys; regrets that whether or not an elderly person has to make such a journey is decided by postcode lottery; is proud to support such a campaign; and calls for hospital travel times to be considered when organising appointments and where treatment centres are.
