answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/06/2022 answer text <p>We have had no recent discussions with the National Joint Council.

This is addressed in the NHS Terms and Conditions, jointly agreed by employers and the NHS trades unions.</p><p>The current rate for staff who use their vehicles to make journeys in the performance of their duties is 56p per mile, which is above HM Revenue and Customs’ approved mileage rate of 45p per mile. This rate reduces after 3,500 miles to 20p per mile. The NHS Terms and Conditions sets out the process for reviewing the rate of reimbursement every six months, which includes reviewing fluctuations in fuel prices.</p><p>The NHS Staff Council has recently published a joint statement on mileage, where the Council commits to write to the Department on the scope and the remit to undertake a possible review. The joint statement is available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.nhsemployers.org/sites/default/files/2022-05/009%20NHS%20SC%20-%20Joint%20statement%20on%20reimbursement%20of%20travel%20costs%20in%20England%20MAY%202022.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.nhsemployers.org/sites/default/files/2022-05/009%20NHS%20SC%20-%20Joint%20statement%20on%20reimbursement%20of%20travel%20costs%20in%20England%20MAY%202022.pdf</a></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 22/06/2022 09:41:08 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar
