Responses to request as regards to concessionary travel arrangements in South Holland under the terms of Freedom of Information Act.

     1. Does your authority provide concessionary travel passes to those
     individuals registered with their local Social Services department
     as disabled on the grounds of being a mental health user or
     survivor?

We use government led guidlines for issuing disabled passes - see attachment

2. If your authority does have such arrangements why was the
decision taken to extend the scheme in this way and what
arrangements are in place?

The decisions are made by the concessionary fares forum of which we are one do not know how the decisions are reached

3. If your authority does not have such arrangements does your
authority have some other arrangement beyond the statuary minimum
to provide passes to those with mental health issues?

No statutory minimum in place

     4. If your authority does not have such arrangements why was the
     decision taken not to extend the scheme in this way and has
     consideration been given to extending the scheme in this way in the
     future?

Same answer as question 2

     5. Would it be possible to provide copies of any relevant policy
     documents you may have?

I have attached the guidlines we have in place - no policy per se
