(asked on 31st January 2023) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what discussions he has had with the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care on how much the DVLA pays GP practices for processing short-term medical driving licence applications.
This question was answered on 6th February 2023
The provision of information to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency as part of its investigations into an individual’s fitness to drive is not part of the NHS contract. GP practices provide a private service for the completion of medical questionnaires required for driver licensing purposes.
