The Highlands and Islands travel costs scheme
Under the Highlands and Islands travel costs scheme, people from the Highlands and Islands in Scotland can claim a refund of their travel costs to hospital.
This refund is not means-tested for amounts over £10.
To qualify, you must live or work in the former Highlands and Islands Development Board area. You must travel 30 miles or more from your home or you must travel by water for more than five miles. If you have an escort, their expenses can also be paid if medical staff can confirm that an escort is medically necessary for you.
