The Healthcare Travel Costs Scheme (HTCS) and non-emergency patient transport services (NEPTS) are kept under review by the National Health Service to ensure simplified and streamlined access. The NHS continues to run these schemes in place to support eligible patients with their travel costs.The most recent NEPTS review from August 2021 is available at the following link:<a href="https://www.england.nhs.uk/urgent-emergency-care/improving-ambulance-services/nepts-review/" target="_blank">https://www.england.nhs.uk/urgent-emergency-care/improving-ambulance-services/nepts-review/</a> The most recent eligibility criteria from 31 May 2022 are available at the following link:<a href="https://www.england.nhs.uk/publication/non-emergency-patient-transport-services-eligibility-criteria/" target="_blank">https://www.england.nhs.uk/publication/non-emergency-patient-transport-services-eligibility-criteria/</a> The NEPTS Review also identified the important role the HTCS has in supporting patients on low incomes to access NHS treatment. More information on the HTCS is available at the following link:<a href="https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/help-with-health-costs/healthcare-travel-costs-scheme-htcs/" target="_blank">https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/help-with-health-costs/healthcare-travel-costs-scheme-htcs/</a> The Department has no plans in place at present to look at further schemes.
