Can I please have a complete breakdown of all travel expenses for the General Hospital (per department) and how this is broken down please. i.e. Cost of individual flights and hotel expenses? Can I please have this going back to January 2015 to date?
Clarification
Figures are requested for Staff expenses only.
Response
Due to the scale of the travel undertaken by Health and Social Services, which relates to both patient and staff travel, the department maintains a separate travel office from the central booking system.
Total travel costs for Health and Social Services in 2015:
| Staff | £722,415 |
| Locums, visiting professionals, escorts, recruitment | £298,281 |
| Patient | £1,730,788 |
| Total | £2,751,484 |
