§ Mr. Allen McKayasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what have been the reductions in the level of community nursing service and analogous nursing services in the last two years; and how much of this reduction is attributable to the rising motoring costs of nurses in those services.
§ Sir George YoungI have no evidence of any reductions in the levels of community and analogous nursing services in the last two years due to rising motoring costs for staff. Mileage allowances paid to NHS employees were increased on 1 April 1979 and again on 1 June.
