At 1354hrs we received a call from the Voluntary Sector Coordination Group contact, to ask if we could help with a request from the local health board. The request was, a nurse, working for the complex care team, required a 4 x 4 vehicle to pick her up and take her to her patient. A relief nurse would then be transported to the patients address and the first nurse returned to her home. The second nurse would require transport home in the morning of the 14th. The address was near Aberfoyle and IRC had attended here in January. It was agreed that the Corps could undertake this task. VSCG coordinator would confirm the details in full with the health board and pass on the information.
