Asked by Mr Richard HoldenConservativeDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 2 February 2026UIN 105747

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many driving mobility assessment centres operate in the UK; how many are managed by NHS Trusts; how many are operated by charitable organisations; and what assessment her Department has made of the adequacy of the long-term sustainability of the funding model for these centres.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

There are fourteen mobility centres in operation in the UK. Four are managed by NHS Trusts, and nine by charitable organisations, with one Community Interest Company. The Department for Transport provides grant funding to mobility centres that have been accredited by Driving Mobility in England, and we work closely with them.
