Total Transport: a better approach to commissioning non-emergency patient transport?
March, 2017
‘Total Transport’ schemes pool resources and vehicle fleets from across the public sector which are currently used to provide separate mainstream, social services, education and healthcare transport provision. Through pooling and coordination a better overall service can be provided at less cost to the taxpayer.

This briefing explains the scale of the potential opportunity from Total Transport schemes which include the NHS.
