The trust is almost halving the travelreimbursement rate from 47p a mile to 24p a mile for those staff who are required to use a car in order to carry out their job and choose to use their own vehicle.
Reimbursement for travel between January 1 and June 30, 2011 is set at 19 cents per mile, and travel between July 1 and December 31, 2011 was increased to 23.5 cents per mile.
