Dudley & Walsall Mental Health Partnership is not covered by WMAS. Nor are the main hospitals in Staffordshire, Herefordshire and Worcestershire.
We do not take patients to private appointments, nor to routine GP appointments.
Are all patients included?
No. Patients will need to meet eligibility criteria set by the CCGs (in line with DoH guidance). PTS is for those with a clinical need. Patients should be encouraged to use their own/public transport or travel with friends or relatives.
Patients will be asked a number of questions to determine eligibility and ensure the right transport is allocated; this is why it is important they request transport, wherever possible.
