Health & Children

Mileage Expenses

Ciarán Cuffe asked the Minister for Health & Children, Marine and Natural Resources the amount paid out, and the total mileage registered in mileage allowances claimed by employees in her Department in the last period for which figures are available.

Minister For Health & Children: Information on mileage paid to State employees is not routinely collected by my Department. Therefore, I have requested the Chief Officer of each of the Health Service Executive's regional areas and the Chief Executive Officer's of other statutory health agencies to forward the requested information to the Deputy in respect of the year ended 31st December 2004.
