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

Further to your recent enquiry regarding concessionary travel I would
advise that this authority adopted the criteria laid down by the
Government in respect of people with a disability. I have attached a
copy of our standard form ( above ) which details the criteria we
follow.I would suggest point "f" covers the area which you mention.
If you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact
me.
