Ms Anne Graham:

We do not do that directly, but our local link offices have been working at different levels with the HSE around the country. In some areas it works very well and the HSE is very open to co-ordinating services with rural transport groups, but in others it has not happened at all. We want to apply the same standard nationally where we can. We have a great deal of support nationally from the HSE, but it needs to operate and work on the ground. We need our local link offices to do that work for us. Many of them are engaged in it.
