Guidance on non-emergency patient transport services: consultation

The White Paper, Our Health, Our Care, Our Say made a commitment to extend eligibility for non-emergency Patient Transport Services (PTS) to procedures that were traditionally provided in hospital, but are now available in a community setting.  This consultation seeks stakeholders’ views on draft eligibility and finance guidance for non-emergency patient transport services to enable implementation of this change.
