Subject: Freedom of Information request - Concessionary travel passes
From: Robert Eriksohn <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx>
To: FOI requests at Durham County Council <xxx@xxxxxx.xxx.xx>

     Dear Sir or Madam,

     I would like to make a request as regards to the concessionary
     travel arrangements in your authority 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?

     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?

     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?

     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?

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

     Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

     Yours faithfully,

     Robert Eriksohn
