Description
Currently, around 280,000 PTS journeys are booked each year, with patients being moved to and from NHS-funded treatment at a range of sites across Sussex including acute hospitals, and local venues providing community-based care.

• Equitable and consistent application of the eligibility criteria to all patients and carers
• Signposting patients who are not eligible for PTS to alternative transport arrangements
• Effective determination of mobility need or needs
• Allocation of journeys across the sub-contracted transport providers through an equitable, open and transparent process
