Subgroup - Transport to Health - Report

During 2019 the Mobility and Access Committee for Scotland (MACS) undertook research to explore the transport barriers faced by disabled people and older people when accessing health and social care appointments and facilities. They gathered insights and information on initiatives that worked well to gain a better understanding of the issues and barriers.

Their work involved an extensive desk-based research exercise capturing the voices of over 1000 disabled people from various existing reports and surveys, and a Transport to Health and Social Care roundtable event, hosted by MACS with assistance from Transport Scotland.
