Council Expenditure or Payment to Suppliers from January to June 2021

The request was successful.

Dear Flintshire County Council,

As in the past, I would like to make an FOI request for all payments to suppliers who provided a service in Health and Social Care from Jan-June 2021. As a minimum, please make sure to include the date, value and recipient of each transaction. Please also provide details on the procurement category of each transaction if you have it & any additional descriptors.

This would include all suppliers falling under the categories :-

1. Children's services - Fostering & adoption (including payments made to independent fostering agencies and for in-house fostering), residential care, SEN (special education services)
2. Adult & elderly services - Residential/nursing care, domiciliary & supported living, care at home providers
3. Providers who carry out homeless services

In particular I am looking for itemized transactions for these suppliers - preferably in CSV format. I look forward to the information at the earliest.

Thank you,
Yours faithfully,
Nikhil Prabhu
