Autism Team - Requests For Increased Resources (including Social Workers)
Dear Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust,
I understand from speaking to a member of your staff that the Autism Team based at Basildon Hospital has requested (and been denied) increased resources, including but not limited to social workers.
This request is for all the information that you hold with regards to requests for additional funding, staffing or other resources for the Autism Team, any discussion of those requests (both internal discussions and those with external stakeholders e.g. Essex County Council), and the final outcome of those requests.
Yours faithfully,
S Marr
