More details from petition creator

Many elderly and vulnerable people rely on local charities with volunteer drivers to take them to hospital appointments. At the moment, charities can reimburse volunteers up to 40p per mile. Because this is no longer a true reflection of the cost of driving, some volunteers are declining to give hospital appointment lifts to the elderly and to those without transport. An increase to 50p would allow them to continue to volunteer.
