Notice Description

This service is commissioned by North Bristol NHS Trust and University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust.

The aim of the service is to provide transport for patients as identified by the Patient Transport Teams of the Authority in reasonable time and comfort without detriment to their medical condition.
