Secure Transport

We're waiting for mrs s chapman to read a recent response and update the status.

Dear Mobility and Transport,

Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting documents which contain the following information:
Please let me know what fees are paid to a secure company for a secure transfer of a patient from a mental health unit such as Cygnet hospitals. Patients formal or not formal sectioned under the mental health act are being transferred from one hospital to another, secure transport companies are being used, so I would like to know their charges per transport.

Yours faithfully,
Mrs S Chapman

Mobility and Transport

Dear Mrs Chapman,

EU road transport legislation covers only road passenger transport operators carrying out transport by means of motor vehicles suitable for carrying more than nine persons, including the driver (see Art. 2(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1071/2009 - http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/E... and Art. 1(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1073/2009 - http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/E...). Transport services provided with ambulances are therefore not covered by EU law. The national regulation of such type of services is left exclusively to the EU Member States.

You may wish to redirect your request to the competent authorities in the relevant EU Member State(s).

Kind regards,
