answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/10/2023 answer text <p>Most National Health Service staff on national contracts who necessarily incur charges in the performance of their duties, in relation to parking, garage costs, tolls and ferries shall be refunded these expenses on production of receipts, whenever these are available.</p><p>Most care workers are employed by private sector providers who set their pay and terms and conditions, independent of central government. Local authorities work with care providers to determine fee rates, which should take account of wage costs, based on local market conditions. Local authorities should assure themselves that providers are sufficiently remunerating staff to retain an effective workforce.</p><p>The Government has now made available up to £8.1 billion in additional funding over two years to support adult social care and discharge.</p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince question first answered 20/10/2023 11:22:23 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince
