Rejected petition Change the PTS contracts so they have to be always NHS. Not private contractors

The patient transport needs to stay part of the NHS. Not sold to private contractors. Private contractors do not follow the strict criteria, and often by pass major issues. The vehicles are run down and staff working beyond there abilities due to over worked. Stay pay is horrendous. Look at reviews.

More details

The reviews from patients and staff are horrendous about private companies. They see patients as a number and not a human being. Patient care goes straight out the window. With NHS patient transport care is always given and not just a number.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

How the NHS commissions patient transport is an operational matter for the NHS, not something the Government or Parliament are responsible for.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
