65. Deputy Aindrias Moynihan asked the Minister for Health why a home help (details supplied), serving in a rural area where there is no public transport and depending on another person for transport to and from clients, is not paid travelling expenses. [8631/16]
View answerProvisions for travel expenses are covered under the HSE's National Financial Regulations (NFR) which form part of the overall system of Corporate Governance and Internal Control within the organisation. In relation to NFR 05 - Travel and Subsistence - an employee of the HSE must meet the criteria as set out. Therefore all employees who meet those criteria are eligible to claim travel and subsistence.
