<\/strong><\/p> The Government takes the environmental implications of exploiting high carbon intensity crudes very seriously and fully supports the aim of the Fuel Quality Directive to reduce carbon emissions. We also believe that the accounting methodology must be proportionate in the burden placed on suppliers. The European Commission's proposals for a greenhouse gas intensity accounting methodology to implement Article 7a failed to receive agreement in 2012, and we await the publication of a revised proposal and impact assessment.<\/p> <\/p> The Department consulted on measures to implement Article 7(a \u2013e) of the Directive between March and June 2011. The core costs envisaged in the impact assessment relate to putting in place a 6% greenhouse gas emissions savings target to 2020, the supply of biofuels and other compliance measures required to achieve these reductions. The costs of delivering such measures are subject to a very high degree of uncertainty given that EU negotiations on key elements for implementing the Directive have not yet concluded. Based on a range of provisional assumptions, it was estimated that, relative to the cost of policy currently in place, the impact in 2020 would be an increase of 0.5 pence per litre on petrol and 2.5 pence per litre on road diesel. A full analysis is presented in the impact assessment published on 10 March 2011 which can be found at:<\/p> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> <\/p><\/td> (millions)<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2008-091<\/sup><\/p><\/td> 2009-10<\/p><\/td> 2010-11<\/p><\/td> 2011-12<\/p><\/td> 2012-13<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Special<\/p><\/td> 0.08<\/p><\/td> 0.06<\/p><\/td> 0.05<\/p><\/td> 0.04<\/p><\/td> 0.03<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Planned<\/p><\/td> 9.51<\/p><\/td> 9.40<\/p><\/td> 8.79<\/p><\/td> 8.26<\/p><\/td> 7.10<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Special/planned Total<\/p><\/td> 9.59<\/p><\/td> 9.47<\/p><\/td> 8.84<\/p><\/td> 8.29<\/p><\/td> 7.13<\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table> <\/p> 1<\/sup>data for 2013-14 has not been published yet, therefore 2008-09 data has been included to complete the five year series.<\/p> <\/p> The total amount spent on hospital transport in each of the last five years by National Health Service trusts is shown in the following table:<\/p> <\/p> Year<\/p><\/td> NHS Trust spend (£000s)<\/p><\/td> 2008-091<\/sup><\/p><\/td> 325,038<\/p><\/td> 2009-10<\/p><\/td> 312,524<\/p><\/td> 2010-11<\/p><\/td> 341,517<\/p><\/td> 2011-12<\/p><\/td> 344,572<\/p><\/td> 2012-13<\/p><\/td> 320,162<\/p><\/td> <\/p> 1<\/sup>NHS Trust spends for 2013-14 has not been published yet, therefore 2008-09 data has been included to complete the five year series.<\/p> <\/strong><\/p> The total amount spent on hospital transport in each of the last five years by foundation trusts (FTs) is shown in the following table:<\/p> <\/strong><\/p> Year<\/p><\/td> FT Trust spend (£000s)<\/p><\/td> Number of FTs at start of year1<\/sup><\/p><\/td> Number of FTs at end of year1<\/sup><\/p><\/td> 2009-10<\/p><\/td> 21,800<\/p><\/td> 115<\/p><\/td> 129<\/p><\/td> 2010-11<\/p><\/td> 21,735<\/p><\/td> 129<\/p><\/td> 136<\/p><\/td> 2011-12<\/p><\/td> 23,195<\/p><\/td> 136<\/p><\/td> 143<\/p><\/td> 2012-13<\/p><\/td> 25,149<\/p><\/td> 143<\/p><\/td> 145<\/p><\/td> 2013-14<\/p><\/td> 25,915<\/p><\/td> 145<\/p><\/td> 147<\/p><\/td> <\/p> 1<\/sup>The changing amount of spend will be affected by more FTs being authorised each year.

Under a salary sacrifice scheme, an employee agrees to a contract variation to give up a proportion of their salary in exchange for a benefit.<\/p> <\/p> Some of the NHS organisations offer free shuttle services from train stations and between sites for patients, visitors and staff.<\/p> <\/p>"}
