Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 21 December 2017 to Question 119952, whether the Government revised Accessibility Action Plan will make specific reference to the issues that face disabled people while attending hospital appointments.

The final Accessibility Action Plan will set out the Government’s updated plans for making transport more inclusive so that disabled people can travel more confidently.

The Department is aware that transport to hospital appointments is an area of particular concern to many disabled people, and the Department plans to write to the Department of Health and Social Care on this matter shortly.
