In addition, estimates of modelled total lost time, defined as the additional time spent travelling compared to that in free flow conditions (but not necessarily held up in traffic jams), are available through the Department\u2019s National Transport Model (NTM). The NTM only models certain years and is mostly used for forecasting future years. However, the model forecasted that in 2010 a total of 41Million Working Days were lost in England on all roads.<\/p>
<\/p>
Although national traffic levels have been broadly static for the last ten years, this masks increasing traffic on motorways which reached a record high of 64.5 billion miles in the year ending September 2014. Given the latest trends and available evidence, it is reasonable to plan for growing levels of traffic, particularly on the Strategic Road Network.<\/p>
<\/p>
Therefore, we have recently announced the biggest road investment in decades, with plans to triple levels of spending by the end of the decade and add over 1,300 new lane miles through schemes being delivered over the next parliament on motorways and trunk roads, tackling congestion and fixing some of the most notorious and longstanding problem areas on the network.<\/p>

The Personal Social Services Research Unit at the University of Kent estimates that the average cost of training a nurse in 2013 was £78,604. This figure reflects the total cost of training and therefore includes costs funded through the public purse and by the student.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The cost of retraining a nurse varies because each programme is adapted to the individual needs of the nurse. However, Health Education England (HEE) estimates that the average cost to them to support each nurse back into practice is £2,000. This does not include any costs to the student. In addition, HEE has spent £50,000 on a recent social media campaign to attract nurses back to practice. This campaign has resulted in 779 nurses registering to undertake a return to practice programme in the next three months.<\/p>
