[holding answer 6 March 2006]: Primary care trusts (PCTs) are responsible for ensuring that there is provision of ambulance services, which could include patient transport services, to such extent as they consider necessary to meet all reasonable requirements. It is, therefore, for the local national health service to decide who provides patient transport services for eligible patients in their area.PCTs are also responsible for ensuring that patients who travel to receive their traditional hospital care receive reimbursement of reasonable travel expenses where the patient can prove they require financial assistance.PCT allocations for 2006–07 will increase by 9.2 per cent. on the previous year. All PCT costs, including both of these schemes, are met from those allocations.
