Mr. Yeo

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what mileage allowances community nurses can claim in rural areas; and if these have been increased since 1997. [136500]

Mr. Denham

Mileage and travelling entitlements for National Health Staff, including community nurses, on national terms are determined by an agreement of the General Whitley Council. These rates were increased with affect from 1 July 2000, under cover of advance letter GC 2/2000 A copy of this advance letter, setting out the new rates, has been placed in the Library.
