<p>The information on funding distributed to National Health Service trusts to deliver
the NHS Healthcare Travel Cost Scheme (HTCS) is not held centrally as funding is included
within NHS Trusts’ baselines. No central monitoring is undertaken on who is in receipt
of funds allocated through HTCS, or on how the money is spent. The scheme is administered
by the NHS locally.</p><p>As part of its review into non-emergency patient transport
services (NEPTS), including HTCS, NHS England has developed a National Minimum Data
Set to monitor provision of NEPTS, including elements of HTCS, at integrated care
system (ICS) level.</p>
