Patient Transport Easy Read Guide.

Patient Transport Service (PTS)

Patient Transport Service is a non-emergency service for people who may need special support getting to and from their healthcare appointments.

Entitlement to transport can depend on your specific requirements, medical condition and mobility, therefore you need to meet the eligibility criteria before using the service. To find out if you’re eligible you can contact your local booking centre who will ask you some simple questions to identify your needs.

Please see below the PTS and 999 easy read guides, which are now available to view on their website.
