Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy. I can confirm that we hold the information you require. You asked for: the total sum that was reimbursed by TFL to the NHS since the ULEZ scheme was first introduced
For any hospital that is signed up to the scheme, eligible NHS patients may be able to reclaim ULEZ charge payments providing they are travelling through the zone to go to and from hospital appointments. In order to verify entitlement, the reimbursement is claimed from the participating NHS Trust who are then reimbursed by TfL. Full details are on our website at: https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/driving/reimbursements-of-the-congestion-charge-and-ulez-charge Since the launch of the ULEZ, on 8 April 2019 to 31 March 2023, TfL has reimbursed a total of £81,737.50 to NHS Trusts for ULEZ charge payments. If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for any reason, please do not hesitate to contact me.
