Fund the NHS to provide increased reimbursement for community nurse mileage

Closed 99 signatures

What the petition asks

Community nurses can currently only claim full reimbursement of 56p per mile for 3,500 miles per year. Any mileage above this is reimbursed at 20p per mile. Currently we are all working extra shifts to cover staff shortages and help our patients through a difficult time.
Community nurses are more likely to agree to extra shifts if they receive full reimbursement for all mileage. The Government should fund the NHS to provide increased reimbursement for community nurses.
