That has been dealt with. We can pick up on it. I made comments on disability awareness training and I sought a response. The current 24-hour waiting period when booking wheelchair-accessible transport is not acceptable. People still routinely ring up to book that and it does not happen for them even though a bus or train with the necessary ramps is available. We need to have a zero-tolerance policy in terms of people booking wheelchair-accessible transport 24 hours in advance who still cannot get that bus or train.
