To ask the Scottish Executive what action it is taking to support community transport schemes that ensure access to health services.
The Executive has allocated budgets totalling £2.3 million to support over one hundred rural and urban community transport schemes in 2004-05. Community transport schemes normally provide access to health services as part of their wider remit. In a few cases, schemes provide only health-related transport.
