Leeds rolls out free bus passes for pregnant women
Passes cover checkups scans and emergencies
Eligibility will be based on financial need during initial maternity appointments, and the trust will track how well the program helps boost attendance.
These passes cover trips for important checkups, scans, and labor and obstetric emergencies.
Nada Abdul-Majid, a specialist midwife health equity at the trust, said, "I've seen first-hand how women struggle to get to their hospital appointments if they don't have enough money to use public transport."
This makes this support crucial.
