The request was successful.

Dear Highland NHS Board,

I'd like to make a request under the Freedom of Information act for all transactions over £500 from 1st July 2020 to 31st December 2020 to suppliers who provide adult services. 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 following categories :-

1. Payments to suppliers who provide care services to the council. This would include suppliers who provide care under each of the categories below
a. Adult Residential/Nursing Care Providers
b. Elderly Residential/Nursing Care Providers
c. Domiciliary Care Home Providers
d. Supported Living Care Home Providers
e. Care at Home Providers
f. Providers who carry out Homeless Services

In particular I am looking for itemized transactions for suppliers from July to December 2020 - preferably in CSV format. For avoidance of doubt, I am making this request under the Freedom of Information Act. I await your response in ~20 working days.

Thank you,
Yours faithfully,
Nikhil Prabhu

Dear Nikhil 
I refer to your FOI request of 10 February seeking information relating to
payments made to suppliers who provided care services to the Council.  Can
I confirm if this request if for NHS Highland or if this would be for
information held by The Highland Council. 
I note that you have submitted a similar request to Highland & Social Care
Partnership, and I have logged this request and we are currently
processing this. 
 
Kind regards
Heather

Dear foirequestshighland,

Thank you for your response Ms Heather Campbell.

To clarify: This request is for NHS Highland, but I have also asked for information held by The Highland Council. i.e., I would like to get the big picture for Health & Social care spend by the entire council of Highland.

I hope that answers your question.

Yours sincerely,
nikhil prabhu
