Improving non-emergency patient transport services: report of the non-emergency patient transport review

This report sets out measures for improving an important element of travel to health care: non-emergency patient transport (NEPTS). These NHS-funded transport services support those people whose medical condition or mobility constraint would otherwise be a major barrier to getting to treatment. The report draws on the findings of a national review, which has worked closely with the sector. The aim is to ensure that NEPTS is more responsive, fair and sustainable.
