FOI BHT - Berkshire Healthcare NHS Trust, Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust

Thank you for your FOI request.

Please be advised that Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust is a provider of mental health services and community health services and we do not have a radiology department, therefore we do not outsource the reporting of diagnostic images.
This FOI is therefore not relevant to us.

If you have not already, you may want to try Frimley Health or Royal Berkshire Hospital who are acute trusts in our area and are commissioned to provide radiology services.

Kind regards
