Guidelines on the Completion of Travelling and Subsistence Claims 2017/18 GUIDELINES ON THE COMPLETION OF TRAVELLING AND SUBSISTENCE CLAIMS 2017/18 1. GENERAL The official electronic F23 form to be used for travelling and subsistence claims. Paper forms are available from the Finance Service. All forms to be signed by the claimant and checked and certified by the officer’s authorised line manager / Head of Service, or authorised deputy, before submission to the Finance Service. Failure to submit a fully completed claim form will result in the claim being returned to the claimant. The electronic form is found on the staff extranet under Corporate, Finance, Travelling and Subsistence Claim Form 17 18. Open the required form and save it immediately, before completing, in your personal drive (H). Work on this saved copy for your claim. Once completed, you will need to print the form. All forms should be fully completed and signed by both the claimant and the line manager and should reach the Finance Service by the 8th of the month following the month of claim. Travel and Subsistence Claim Forms that are submitted over three months in arrears will not be paid. For example, a claim for January is payable firstly in February. It will be accepted for payment up until the 8th May. Thereafter, it is over three months in arrears and will not be paid. 2. MILEAGE ALLOWANCES CLAIMS 2.1 Actual mileage claimed should be in accordance with the ‘Notes for Recording and Calculating Mileage’ seen in Appendix 1. 2.2 If more than one privately owned vehicle is used during a month, a separate claim form is to be used for each vehicle. This is for the purpose of confirming appropriate insurance cover. 2.3 All Car Users are personally responsible for ensuring that their private Motor Vehicle Insurance Policy has cover for business use of their vehicle - business use being defined as journeys undertaken for work purposes. 2.4 In accordance with the Drivers’ Handbook 2009, and any revisions, in order to claim Mileage Allowance, each member of staff must produce a copy of their valid driving licence, insurance certificate showing cover for business use and MOT certificate, if applicable. An Authority to Drive Form is also to be completed. They are to be made available to the Head of Service for inspection, then a copy forwarded to the Head of Personnel for filing. 2.5 Mileage Allowances paid by the Authority are the Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs approved mileage rates. (See Appendix 2 for current rates) 2.6 A timely VAT receipt for the purchase of fuel is to be presented with each claim. If there is no VAT receipt, the allowance will be less by the VAT element included in the allowance. 2.7 The travelling claim form also collates information for the Green Dragon scheme. It requests you note down the co2 emissions of your vehicle. 3. SUBSISTENCE CLAIMS (to include Accommodation) 3.1 Reimbursement of subsistence will be paid only on production of an itemised receipt. The current rates, and when subsistence can be claimed, are found on the Travelling and Subsistence Claim Form F23. 3.2 No claim for subsistence will be allowed within the boundary of the National Park or within five miles of the boundary. Claims must also be in accordance with HM Revenue & Customs regulations concerning dispensations i.e. that the claim should be reasonable and that staff are away from the home / workplace for the whole working day or a substantial part of the day including the lunchtime period as defined on the travel and subsistence claim form. 3.3 The maximum amount reimbursed (inclusive of VAT) for accommodation, unless prior approval in writing is given by a Director or Chief Executive, varies between London, other cities and elsewhere. Current rates are: London £150 per night Other Cities £125 per night All other areas £100 per night 3.4 A Friends and Family allowance of £25 per night is also available. There is no need to provide a receipt. However, if no receipt is supplied, it will be taxable, as it is an allowance and not reimbursement of expenditure incurred. 3.5 All expenditure inclusive of VAT must be supported by a VAT invoice/receipt to enable the Authority to reclaim the VAT element. 3.6 An out of pocket overnight allowance of £5.00 can be claimed without the production of a receipt. 4. OTHER TRAVELLING RELATED COSTS 4.1 Reimbursement of air, rail, taxi and any other public transport fares for a business journey undertaken must be supported by receipts. 4.2 Reimbursement of parking fees where the expense is incurred on business travel and is supported by receipts will be payable. Toll fees are reimbursed whether a receipt is provided or not. APPENDIX 1 NOTES FOR RECORDING AND CALCULATING MILEAGES (Please note that the reference to the ‘Centre’ in the following Notes refers to the officer’s recognised normal place of work). 1. RECORDING JOURNEY DETAILS 1.1 All claims should include sufficient information so that Line Managers are able to make a reasonable judgement on the accuracy of claims. 1.2 All stages of the journey to be listed separately. For example: i) An officer travelling from HQ (Centre) to Dolgellau, then calling at three sites en route before returning to HQ needs to record the mileage and other details on three separate lines:- line1 - the journey from HQ to Dolgellau line 2 – the journey from Dolgellau to the last of the three sites visited, listing the other two sites called at line 3 - the return journey from the last site to HQ. ii) An officer leaves home at Caernarfon to travel to a meeting in Bangor then proceeds to travel to Penygroes for another meeting, then continuing on to HQ (Centre), should record the mileages on three different lines :- line 1 - the journey from Home to Bangor, line 2 – the journey from Bangor to Penygroes, line 3 – the journey from Penygroes to HQ 1.3 In accordance with HMRC requirements, all of the miles travelled are to be recorded, as well as the miles claimable, in columns A and B respectively of the claim form. 1.4 For help to calculate the shortest journey, log on to www.theaa.com and follow the route planner or visit https://maps.google.co.uk 1.5 Some journeys may be deemed taxable due to their nature. If you require further detail, contact the Finance Service. 2. CALCULATING MILEAGES 2.1 There are four main scenarios for calculating claimable mileage: i) Journeys that start and end at centre - all authorised business miles travelled can be claimed - the mileage to correspond with the noted vehicle’s mileometer readings. ii) Journeys that start at home and end at centre - the mileage that can be claimed will be the distance between home and the first site visited or the distance between the centre and the first site visited, whichever is the shortest, as well as the miles travelled between the first site visited and the office (Centre). iii) Journeys that start at home and end at home - the mileage that can be claimed will be the distance between home and the first site visited or the distance between the centre and the first site visited, whichever is the shortest. Any business miles travelled thereafter will also be claimable. The miles claimable for the last journey home will be that of the distance between the last site visited and home, or the last site visited and the Centre, whichever is the shortest. iv) Journeys that start at centre and end at home - mileage from the Centre to all authorised sites visited can be claimed, together with the shortest distance between the last site visited and either Centre or home. 2.2 Illustrative examples for calculating mileage are provided below. 3. CALCULATING MILEAGE - ILLUSTRATED EXAMPLES 3.1 JOURNEYS THAT START AND END AT CENTRE When it is necessary for an officer to come to the centre at the start of the day and then to travel out from the centre and having to return to the centre at the end of the day, then he/she must claim the exact mileage travelled. All business mileage travelled can be reclaimed. Example 1 : Tom travels from his home to HQ (Centre) to work on a project before he visits Plas Tan y Bwlch (PTYB). He later needs to visit Yr Ysgwrn for a meeting there, and then returns to the Centre. Tom then works a while in the office on his day’s findings, and then travels direct from HQ to his home. Tom will be able to claim the miles travelled between HQ and PTYB, PTYB and Yr Ysgwrn and Yr Ysgwrn back to HQ. Column A Column B Line 1: Centre to Centre, listing sites visited 22 22 3.2 JOURNEYS THAT START AT HOME AND END AT CENTRE If an officer begins a journey from home to visit sites, then he can claim the mileage between his home and the first site or the mileage between the centre and the first site, whichever is the shortest (this is for first site only). The officer can also claim the miles travelled between any other sites visited together with the journey between the last site visited and the centre. Example 1: Catrin lives in Y Bala. She travels from Y Bala to Trawsfynydd for a site visit. She then calls in PTYB on her way to HQ. She can claim for the journey between Trawsfynydd and HQ (the journey between Penrhyndeudraeth and Trawsfynydd is shorter than the journey between Y Bala and Trawsfynydd), Trawsfynydd to Maentwrog, and then from Maentwrog to HQ.

This includes servers, CRM licences etc. Every Authority and Health Board that uses the system must contribute towards the amount of £1.93m based on a formula, with Welsh Government contributing over £600k. HIGHWAYS AND MUNICIPAL Cap 2 Flare to deal with gases on the Cilgwyn For the past 15+ years, the site's landfill gas control was 60,600 landfill site contracted externally, by now the gas control is managed internally again. The volume and standard of gas has reduced to a level where only a low calorific gas flare has the ability to sufficiently control the remaining gas. It is intended to purchase specific equipment to burn poor quality landfill gas - this is the best technique available to control and deal with poor land quality / volume of landfill gas effectively. Cap 3 Dolgellau Workshop Inspection Pit Vehicle inspection facilities have deteriorated substantially at the 65,000 Depo, which creates a risk of injury and service continuation in the Meirionnydd area. Therefore, an application is made to purchase two specific inspection pits for the workshop in order to safeguard our staff and to ensure service continuation.

LL53 6EG XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX www.tydoctor.wales.nhs.uk 10 April 2017 Dr Dai Lloyd Mr Rhun Ap Iorwerth National Assembly for Wales Cardiff Bay CARDIFF CF99 1NA Annwyl Dai a Rhun, Thank you for coming up to Caernarfon to meet with us last week. I hope you found it informative and useful for your ongoing enquiry. My name is Arfon Williams and I have been a General Practitioner in Nefyn for the past 22 years. Unfortunately, I am the sole partner in the practice, caring for about 4300 patients, extending along the north tip of the Llyn Peninsula from Aberdaron to Clynnog Fawr. We have found it very difficult to recruit and we have had to change our whole work model in order to continue to provide a service to our patients in a safe way. The last two years have been incredibly difficult, and without the support of my excellent staff, it would have been virtually impossible for us to carry on. We have made some significant changes to the way we provide medical care, in that we have changed our skill mix, capacity, working day etc. I enclose a letter that I sent to the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board to explain to them the methods we have introduced in order that they might be able to disseminate that information to help others in a similar predicament. To the best of my knowledge, I do not think that this information has been shared (which is disappointing).

  • DWYRYD ESTUARY and MORFA HARLECH Component Lcas (Snowdonia): Morfa Harlech; Vale of Ffestiniog; Morfa Dyffryn Component Lcas (Gwynedd): Porthmadog
    SEASCAPE CHARACTER AREA 21: DWYRYD ESTUARY AND MORFA HARLECH Component LCAs (Snowdonia): Morfa Harlech; Vale of Ffestiniog; Morfa Dyffryn Component LCAs (Gwynedd): Porthmadog Location and Context This SCA is located in the northern part of the west Snowdonia coast. It includes the Dwyryd estuary from its mouth near Porthmadog to its inland tidal limit at Tan-y-bwlch. It also includes Morfa Harlech on the southern shore of the estuary, and the towns of Harlech and Penrhyndeudraeth. To the north is SCA 20: Porthmadog and Glaslyn Estuary, to the west is SCA 19: Criccieth to Mochras, and to the south is SCA 22: Mochras to Fairbourne and Sarn Badrig. View across the Dwyryd Estuary from Ynys, showing intertidal habitats, the village of Portmeirion and the mountains of Snowdonia forming the backdrop. Image © Fiona Fyfe Summary Description Views of this SCA are dominated by the broad landform of the Dwyryd estuary, with its extensive salt marshes, sand, mud and dune system (Morfa Harlech). The estuary also contains distinctive ‘islands’ and ridges of higher ground on either side. Overlooking the estuary are the contrasting villages of Harlech (with its Medieval castle on the valley side), Portmeirion with its Italianate architecture, and the industrial village of Penrhyndeudraeth. Surrounding the estuary are the wooded hills of Snowdonia, which form a majestic backdrop to picturesque views from lower land. In the eastern part of SCA, the valley narrows as the river flows inland. Here, the Afon Dwyryd has been heavily modified flows between areas of improved grazing, with main roads on both sides of the valley floor.

  • Taith Pererin 2 Basingwerk Abbey Saturday 3
    Taith Pererin 2 Basingwerk Abbey Saturday 3 May - Departure Over 20 Pilgrims and supporters have set off from Basingwerk Abbey this morning after a few words of prayer led by Chris. We stop at Pantasaph Priory for lunch, then continue via the Roman Pharos in Coed y Garreg and the magnificent Celtic cross at Maen Achwyfan, to Llanasa, where we take a rest in the memorial garden by the church before continuing to Trelawnyd, which we reach about 5:30. A long first day, highlights including orange-tip butterflies in the woods above St Winefride's Well, the first early purple orchid, gorse now in flower everywhere and an imminent explosion of May blossom. These two scents will now accompany us for the next 11 days as we make our way steadily westwards. We now have our Pilgrim Passports, and Jenny nobly carries the new stamps in her rucksack. These will, in due course, be left in churches and communities, shops, pubs, cafés for all to record their progress along the Way. It's an early (8:30) start from Trelawnyd tomorrow, due to the need to be in St Asaph Cathedral by 3:30 for the service marking the culmination of the Diocesan Year of Pilgrimage. Sunday 4 May - Howard's Tree It's an earlier start this morning after the now customary transport shuffle. We leave Trelawnyd at 8:30 and make better progress than yesterday, soon reaching the top of Rhuallt Hill. There are some really eccentric garden ornaments around Rhuallt - one chap has a Spitfire and a dinosaur (which has acquired a baby since last year), while his neighbour has (among others) John Wayne on horseback, Barack Obama on a park bench, three Jedi Warriors and King Kong.

John Greaves was a considerable landowner in his own right, with a large estate at Glangwna as well as property at Bron Eifion, Criccieth. From 1910 he also had considerable investments in Canadian developments. Before succeeding to the Lieutenancy on the death of the previous incumbent, the first Lord Penrhyn, in 1886, John Greaves had served as High Sheriff in both Merioneth and Caernarfonshire, and as Deputy Lieutenant for Merioneth. As Lord-Lieutenant of Caernarfonshire it was his duty to act for the Crown in the County, corresponding frequently with Buckingham Palace and representing the Crown on ceremonial occasions.
