In consultation with National Health Service ambulance trusts in England, we confirmed earlier this year that emergency service personnel engaged in providing helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS) and who met the eligibility criteria for the Platinum Jubilee Medal could receive an award, irrespective of whether they have an employment contract with an NHS organisation. Emergency service personnel who respond to 999 calls and potentially placing themselves in danger are eligible for the Medal.

The reimbursement of travel costs for community nurses and other National Health Service staff is addressed by the NHS Terms and Conditions, jointly agreed by employers and the NHS trades unions. The current rate for staff who use their vehicles to make journeys in the performance of their duties is 56 pence per mile, above the HM Revenue and Customs\u2019 approved mileage rate of 45 pence per mile. This rate reduces after 3,500 miles to 20 pence per mile. The NHS Terms and Conditions sets out the process for reviewing the rate of reimbursement every six months, including reviewing fluctuations in fuel prices.<\/p>
