Fund the NHS to provide increased reimbursement for community nurse mileage

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.
