To ask the Scottish Executive what action is being taken to ensure that nurses and other healthcare staff employed by the NHS who are required to use their own vehicles when working in the community are fairly and fully reimbursed for the costs they incur.
Answer
The levels of mileageallowances and all other travel and subsistence allowances for nurses and otherhealth care staff are negotiated nationally through the General WhitleyCouncil.
Discussions with stafforganisations have resulted in an agreement in principle that any decisionsabout arrangements for travel and subsistence should be taken following theestablishment of the new NHS staff council to be created in the wake of Agendafor Change, the new pay system for NHS staff. This is subject to the outcome of the staff ballot on Agenda for Change to be held by a number of stafforganisations next year.
