Expenditure on wine, scholarship awards and mental health support

The request was partially successful.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I have five questions, all concerning college expenditure in the academic year 2016-17. 

[1] How much money did the college spend on wages and equipment for the college nurse?
[2] How much money did the college spend on wages for the college counsellor?
[3] How much money did the college spend on mental health training for staff and students?
[4] How much money did the college spend on cash prizes and awards for students who achieved certain marks in end-of-year examinations? This includes scholars' prizes for attaining a first-class mark, Book Prizes for a high 2:i and any other cash prize paid to the student as a consequence of examination performance.
[5] How much money did the college spend on providing free alcoholic beverages to Fellows, students, conference guests, attendees of chapel services and any other persons? This includes wine, port, sherry and any other alcoholic beverage. 


Yours faithfully, 

Jay Richardson

Dear Mr Richardson

Further to your Freedom of Information request of 6th September, I can
supply the following information:

Q1 and Q2. This information is exempt under Section 40 (Personal
Information) of the Act.
Q3. These costs are not separately accounted for.
Q4. £44,535.
Q5. This information cannot be provided because the College accounts do
not separate alcohol provided free of charge from alcohol which requires
payment.

If you are dissatisfied with the College's response you may seek an
internal review of the College's decision. If after that review you
remain dissatisfied you have the right to
apply to the Information Commissioner - see contact details below:
