Hospital travel cost schemes (HTCS)

Patients in receipt of certain benefits and allowances may be entitled to assistance with travel costs to hospital. Information and reimbursement may be obtained from the Cash Office at Warrington Hospital (located near the main entrance area) and the General Office at Halton Hospital (located in the main reception). 

Please note: Patients entitled to assistance through HTCS are only eligible to claim the cost of their travel to an Emergency Department (A&E) if the reason for their attendance is in relation to a pre-existing condition for which they are under the care of a consultant. Where patients attend ED for any other reason they would not be eligible for assistance through HTCS for help with their costs.
