Thank you very much for providing us with feedback about our renal service. I am very sorry about your experience of patient transport service which is provided by another organisation. We are trying very hard to work with that organisation to improve their service, our disappointment is that we have not yet seen any improvement.

I will feedback your comments to the commissioners of the transport service. If you would like to email me your details, I will facilitate a meeting between yourself and the commissioner of the service. My email address is Julie.pearce1@nhs.net

Thank you again for taking the time to feedback.
