• The programme should be accessible by public transport

• Free/Subsidised hospital transport from referring hospitals

• Additional use of golf-carts for internal transport of patients

• A quiet, comforting waiting area

• Close proximity of ablution facilities especially for patients experiencing nausea and gastrointestinal disturbances

• A designated soundproof booth for ototoxicity monitoring

• A sound proof booth large enough for accommodating patients in wheelchairs

• Necessary audiological test equipment in good working order, with annual calibration records
