Over the last 3 to 4 months, the Irish Cancer Society has been running a pilot Volunteer Driver Programme in Leinster.

The aim of this is to provide transport services for cancer patients who do not live near their place of care. It is modeled on a similar system which is operated by the Canadian Cancer Society and receives funding from the National Cancer Control Programme.

The scheme is due to be rolled out nationwide with 6 - 12 months.
