Rural Health Link is a new project aimed to help people in this area attend health related appointments. There is a 50% subsidy on transport costs to all health related appointments, including trips to GPs (both Hartington and Ashbourne Surgeries), hospitals, chiropodists, dentists and physiotherapy.
This is particularly relevant to those of us who live in Parwich, Alsop, Pikehall and Ballidon, as there is no public transport at all for patients going to the Hartington Surgery.
Those in our area wanting to use the Rural Health Link please call Ashbourne Community Transport on 01335 300 670, and ask for the Rural Health Link Co-ordinator.
Rural Health Link is a working partnership between Ashboune Community Transport, Buxton & District Volunteer Centre, Bakewell Community Transport and Derbyshire Dales Volunteer Centre, and is supported by Derbyshire County Council (Cllr Simon Spencer’s community grants).
This is in addition to the existing provision by these groups. The Rural Health Link Co-ordinator will as appropriate organise your transport with these groups.
