Approved Mileage Allowance Payments (AMAPs) are used by employers to reimburse an employee\u2019s expenses for business mileage in their private vehicle. The government sets the AMAP rates to minimise administrative burdens.<\/p>
<\/p>
The AMAP rates aim to reflect running costs including fuel, servicing and depreciation. Depreciation is estimated to constitute the most significant proportion of the AMAP rates.<\/p>
<\/p>
There is no formula or calculation which delivers the AMAPs rates for cars of 45 pence per mile for the first 10,000 miles and 25 pence per mile thereafter. The decision on what rates to adopt is a policy decision taken by the Chancellor after considering a range of factors. These factors include:<\/p>
\u2022 the costs of motoring per business mile for a range of cars and mileages;<\/p>
\u2022 the transport needs of business;<\/p>
\u2022 the cost to the Exchequer of changing the rate;<\/p>
\u2022 the overall fiscal position.\u201d<\/p>
<\/p>
Employers are not required to use the AMAPs rates. Instead, they can agree to reimburse a different amount that better reflects their employees\u2019 circumstances. If an employee is paid less than the AMAP rate, they can claim Mileage Allowance Relief (MAR) on the shortfall. However, where payments exceed the relevant AMAP rate, there will be a tax and National Insurance charge on the difference.<\/p>

It is the responsibility of integrated care boards (ICBs) to make available appropriate provision to meet the health and care needs of their local population. We are supporting them to expand mental health services through the NHS Long Term Plan, which commits to increasing investment into mental health services by at least £2.3 billion a year by 2023/24 so that an additional 345,000 children and young people are able to access National Health Service funded mental health support, including in the Barnsley Central constituency.<\/p>
<\/p>
We aim to increase the mental health workforce by an additional 27,000 healthcare professionals by 2023/24 to support the expansion and transformation of services.<\/p>
<\/p>
We also provided an additional £79 million for 2021/22 to allow around 22,500 more children and young people to access community health services.<\/p>
<\/p>
Assessments for autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may also happen through child and adolescent mental health services. Building on last year\u2019s investment of £13 million (through the NHS Long Term Plan and COVID-19 Mental Health Recovery Plan), we will invest £2.5 million in 2022/23\u202fto test and embed improved autism diagnostic pathways.<\/p>
<\/p>
NHS England are developing a national framework to set out the process of how\u202fchildren, young people and adults should receive an autism diagnosis.\u202fThe aim of this work is to improve the quality of these diagnostic processes and reduce waiting times.<\/p>
<\/p>
ICBs and NHS trusts should have due regard to the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence\u2019s (NICE\u2019s) guideline \u2018Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder: diagnosis and management\u2019. The guideline aims to improve the diagnosis of ADHD and to improve the quality of care and support for people of all ages who are diagnosed with ADHD.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4492", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Maria Caulfield"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Lewes"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Maria Caulfield"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-02-09", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-02-09T13:50:09.12Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-02-06", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Mental Health Services: Barnsley Central"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to reduce the waiting times for CAMHS in the Barnsley Central constituency.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4243", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dan Jarvis"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Barnsley Central"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Dan Jarvis"} ], "uin" : "140230"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 2, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
