Instead, parents who cannot travel to hospital by private car are encouraged to use taxis in the first instance, rather than public transport. For the duration of this travel advice the Neonatal Expenses Fund can be used to cover the cost of these taxi journeys.
If required, staff in the Neonatal Unit can help parents to arrange taxi bookings that do not require up-front payment. If this would be of help to you please ask the neonatal nurse looking after your baby for details.
