Care Service
What we have achieved

  • Maintained patronage levels at around 235,000 journeys - exceptionally inclement weather necessitated the cancellation of scheduled services on a number of occasions otherwise the number of passenger journeys would have been much higher (estimated closer to 250,000)
  • Were awarded an 18 month commercial contract to provide NHS Patient Transport Services
  • Maintained a low refusal rate


What we plan to achieve

  • Ensure that no reasonable journey request will be refused
  • Seek increased vehicle availability through joint working with external partners in the public, private and voluntary sectors
  • Use any increase obtained in vehicle availability effectively and efficiently to improve and increase service delivery
  • Reduce the number of potential service disruptions through use of enhanced scheduling arrangements
