Travel Assistance Scheme
On the 1st
January 2006 the Ministry of Health launched the new National Travel Assistance
Policy.
The National Travel Assistance Scheme provides financial
assistance to people who are referred by their hospital specialist to see another
hospital specialist, and need to travel long distances or travel frequently.
