Tulip Siddiq – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Department of Health

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Tulip Siddiq on 2015-10-23.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of providing discount travel fares for all nurses registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council.

Alistair Burt

The merits of discounted travel fares is a local matter for individual organisations and the staff they employ to consider. We understand that the Human Resource Directors’ network in London is looking at economic factors within the capital that impact on the retention of nurses in the short and medium term.
