Expenses Policy

The NHS South East London is committed to working together with people and communities to improve the health of people living in south east London.

We know that local people give up their time to take part in NHS South East London engagement activities and may incur costs. We want to ensure that no-one is left out of pocket through taking part in the work of the NHS South East London

This policy sets some guiding principles and practice around reimbursing out of pocket expenses for public members.

Some of the expenses covered within this policy include:

  • Public transport cost e.g., bus, tube, train
  • Carer and childcare costs
  • Mileage cost for cars and motorcycles
  • Office supplies, including broadband and printing

This policy applies to individuals, including patients, carers and members of the public, who help us with our work.

You can read the full policy and use the claim form to submit a claim.

Completed claims forms should be sent via email to the person leading the engagement within the NHS South East London for authorisation.  Then the member of staff needs to contact the engagement team for  a payment request form.

Please contact the engagement team on [email protected] if you have any question.
