What is Patient transport service?
A '''Patient transport service''' carries people to and from medical services when there isn't an emergency. This may be to or from their own home or a [[hospital]] or care home. The transport usually has life-support equipment, and people with fewer qualifications than [[ambulance]] people. Some services are run commercially and some by government [[Health care|healthcare]] services. In the [[United Kingdom]] there is a separate [[NHS Low Income Scheme|Hospital Travel Costs]] scheme which gives people help with the costs of these journeys. {{med-stub}} [[Category:Healthcare]]
