2017 Financial Statements of the HSE
2016 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 38 - Department of Health

Mr. Stephen Mulvany:

Patient transport, in that context, Deputy, would be where any of the services is providing supports to patients, either directly or through funding, to enable them to go to and from services. Given that we do not have a single financial system, some of the code and classification of those figures may be slightly different in areas so we would have to look at the specifics. Typically, staff transport, in terms of mental health, would be staff travelling, as the Deputy has said, to and from locations.

The patient transport is some form of assistance to patients, either directly or through providing financial assistance to travel.
