Non-Emergency Patient Transport Services

Some people are eligible for non-emergency patient transport services (PTS). These services provide free transport to and from hospital for:

• people whose condition means they need additional medical support during their journey
• parents or guardians of children who are being transported
• people who have a medical condition that prohibits the use of public transport
• registered as sight impaired
• attending for chemo/radiotherapy
• attending for treatment which impairs mobility after treatment

Refunds of Hospital Transport Costs

You may be able to claim a refund for the cost of your transport to hospital through the Healthcare Travel Costs Scheme (HTCS) if you:

• are not eligible for PTS
• cannot afford the cost of travelling to hospital
• cannot get a friend or relative to take you
