Transport to Healthcare
Peterborough City Council is working in
partnership with Peterborough Primary Care Trust and other local
partners on improving the co-ordination of travel and transport
arrangements across health, social care, education and leisure
services.
Key issues that were identified to be
addressed were:
- To improve patient transport services, by updating eligibility criteria and issuing the guidance on commissioning transport.
- To improve the advice and information available to patients, by allowing patients to choose the time and place of healthcare appointments and developing options for a one-stop shop of appointment and transport booking.
- To promote accessibility considerations in decisions on healthcare infrastructure.
A joint funded two-year post has reviewed current transport
arrangements undertaken by the local authority, NHS trusts and
community transport operators. Transport integration remains a high
priority on both the local authority's and local health trust's
efficiency plans and has been given the support and backing of
chief executives and local members.
Please find below a copy of the project initiation document,
together with a copy of the project summary and the results of a
consultation event with the main transport providers.
