Answer
The Pilot Travel Contribution Scheme has not yet been evaluated and so no assessment of potential savings has been made.
The Pilot Travel Contribution Scheme will be evaluated in Autumn 2024. Until this validation is complete, it is not possible to outline any savings in individual HSC Trusts.
