Question:364. Deputy Bríd Smith asked the Minister for Health the financial supports or subsidies available to outpatients who are in receipt of social protection benefit and are unable to access bus, train or other public transport services to attend hospital appointments and are therefore forced to use taxi services and incur considerable expenses; if there was a support system in place in the past; if that system was deferred and if and when there are plans to reinstate a system of financial support; and if patients can claim back payment for taxis to outpatients appointments.
