MPs and peers call for national guidelines on disabled people's travel funding
29 September 2026
MPs and peers say disabled people must have a guaranteed right to travel abroad, after cases emerged of NHS care boards and councils restricting funding for personal assistants' travel. Two men with the same condition and care packages, living 40 miles apart, face different rules. Campaigners and MPs called for national guidelines, saying the restrictions may breach human rights law.
