Alistair Burt

The issue of transport for vulnerable people is spread across Government, including the Department for Work and Pensions, the Department for Transport, the Department for Communities and Local Government and the Ministry of Defence.

The funding for transport for vulnerable people in the Department of Health’s policy remit is provided by local authorities and clinical commissioning groups, who do not break down spend in this way. The Department of Health does not independently collect data on how much is spent on vulnerable adult transport.
