• improving the quality and value for money of services
• introducing a single point of access for all types of non-emergency patient transport; and
• ensuring patients access the right type of transport for their needs.
The universal NHS funded non-emergency patient transport includes the following elements:
• Centralised Booking Service
• Non-Emergency Patient Transport Service (mainland)
• Car Services
• Qualified Crew Ambulance Services
• Isles of Scilly Travel Service
