A man from Finchley who is completely blind says he feels discriminated against after being refused patient transport for a hospital appointment. Michael Ryan was given transport for more than ten years, but after a recent change in the way the eligibility criteria is being enforced, he was denied the service. The Royal Free Trust have apologised and say the assessment was incomplete as Nicola Ford reports.
