Proposal For A Fuel Allowance For Nhs Employees

EDM number 1312 in 2010-12, proposed by Robert Halfon on 19/01/2011.
Categorised under the topics of Health services and Transport.

That this House expresses concern that NHS employees often cover a significant amount of the costs involved in travelling to carry out their daily duties, due to huge local variations in the expenses regime inherited from the previous Government; notes that employees in mental health services are particularly vulnerable due to a high level of travel in their profession; further notes that rising fuel costs have increased the burden on all staff who regularly travel; and urges the Government to review the current rates of reimbursement and to support the exemplary service NHS staff provide nationally.

This motion has been signed by a total of 7 MPs.
