Dear Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust,

I am interested to know how the Trust transports patients and staff:

Which company holds the taxi contract and when does the contract expire?
Does the Trust use a third party company to transport patients?
If so how much did the Trust spend on patient transport in the last last year?

Thank you.
