Response

I am writing to advise you that following a search of our paper and electronic records, I have established that the information you requested is not held by the NHSBSA as we do not transport any people with infectious diseases.

Advice and assistance

Please find below a link to a list of NHS Trusts. I believe that this information would not be held centrally, so you would need to request this separately from each trust.
