To ask the Scottish Government, further to the answer to question S6W-26931 by Jenni Minto on 2 May 2024, what progress it has made towards the implementation of the Mobility and Access Committee for Scotland’s transport to health recommendations.

Scottish Government welcomed the transport to health and social care report from the Mobility and Access Committee (MACS) and agreed to develop a transport to health plan in response.

Progress has been made against the recommendations including bringing more focus and prominence in work with the relevant partners including Regional Transport Partnerships and Health Boards to take forward specific actions and commitments towards better joined up care planning and working.

Recognising the importance of the recommendations, Transport Scotland have included Transport to Health as one of seven thematic workstreams in their approach for delivery of the Accessible Travel Framework
