Sussex CCGs are responsible for monitoring Coperforma’s performance, and High Weald Lewes Havens CCG acknowledges that, as my hon. Friend said, the early performance of the new non-emergency patient transport service has not been acceptable. For that reason, the CCG, on behalf of all Sussex CCGs, has begun an inquiry, with the aim of making a report available by June, and with interim progress reports. We will of course monitor the issue carefully.

Patient transport services (PTS) are commissioned by clinical commissioning groups (CCGs). A range of different providers may provide PTS - for example, the local NHS ambulance trust, independent sector providers, or a combination of providers.
Decisions about patient transport services are a local matter and it remains up to CCGs to decide how these services are managed. It is important that CCGs have the flexibility to provide and tailor patient transport service provision for their registered population.
