Bureaucrats at the new Leeds-based ruling body set up to run the NHS spent more than £7 million of taxpayers’ cash on rail fares, flights and accommodation in just 12 months, new figures reveal.
Staff at NHS England, which has main offices in Leeds and London, ran up bills of £600,000 a month on travel and hotel stays in 2013-14 in its first year of operation following the Government’s controversial reforms of the health service.
The amounts paid through the West Yorkshire branch of travel agent Redfern, which administers booking of rail and air travel and hotel accommodation for NHS England’s 5,300 staff, are worth £1,334 per head.
