Fees for attending conferences and seminars

Jennifer H Allan made this Freedom of Information request to Scottish Public Services Ombudsman

The request was successful.

From: Jennifer H Allan

15 June 2009

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am aware that the Scottish Public Services Ombudsman and senior
personnel from that department have often been invited to speak at
conferences and meetings organised by Regional Health Authorities
and Medical Defence Insurance companies amongst others. (This has
previously been admitted to on SPSO's internet web site.)

Have any fees ever been paid to the Ombudsman,or other SPSO
personnel, by these or any other organisations for attending these
or any other meetings?

I am NOT asking for details of any reasonable expenses incurred as
a result of attending any such meetings.

Yours faithfully,

Jennifer H Allan
