My son uses Arriva transport on a regular basis as he has several medical conditions that require hospital/clinic appointments. The transport has been a bit hit and miss and we have sometimes had problems but last experience on was shocking.
My son had an appointment at Manchester Royal Infirmary (MRI) at 3pm. He was told to be ready 2 hours before. We were not picked up until 3. 45pm. After going round picking others up, we did not get to MRI until 4. 45pm. The clinic had finished & the doctor had his coat on. My son did get his treatment, but we were not picked up until 8. 30pm. Again going around other places we got home at 9. 30pm. Nurses waited with us and offered drinks but any later and my son would not have had his treatment.
"my son was late for his appointment"
