Department of Health: Information Officers
(asked on 6th January 2016) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how much has been claimed in reimbursement expenses by press officers in (a) his Department and (b) his Department's executive agencies and public bodies in each fiscal year since 2010-11.
The reimbursable expenses claimed by press officers in the Department in each fiscal year since 2010-11 are detailed in the table below:
Financial Year | 2010-11 | 2011-12 | 2012-13 | 2013-14 | 2014-15 |
Department of Health | £2,773.27 | £3,606.40 | £1,895.41 | £771.80 | £1,624.01 |
The data covers reimbursable expenses claimed by the Department’s press officers for travel and subsistence.
The expenses are reimbursed to staff in accordance with the Department’s policy, and will not include any rail or air tickets or hotel accommodation booked through the Department’s central booking.
To collate the reimbursable expenses claimed by press officers in the Department’s executive agencies and public bodies in each fiscal year since 2010-11 is a disproportionate cost.
