Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what duties are placed on clinical commissioning groups to ensure that public transport routes are available to GPs.
This question was answered on 9th January 2019
There are no duties placed on clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) to ensure that public transport routes are available to general practitioners. However, the Health and Social Care Act (2012) places specific duties on CCGs and NHS England to address health inequalities in relation to access and outcomes.
