To ask the Minister for Infrastructure whether his Department plans to modify Rural Community Transport Partnerships' boundaries to bring them in line with the amalgamated council boundaries.

My Department is currently undertaking a phased review of the community transport schemes which it funds, including the Dial-A-Lift Scheme provided by the Rural Community Transport Partnerships. The issue of the boundaries in which the Rural Community Transport Partnerships operate was raised during the engagement undertaken with the Partnerships and service users under the Phase 1 Evaluation stage of the review.

The issues raised in Phase 1 will be considered when an action plan for Phase 2 of the review is developed.
