The request was successful.

Robert Christian

Dear Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre NHS Trust,

I would be grateful if you would provide the following information under the FOI Act.

How much did your Trust spend on chaplaincy (or equivalent non-Christian religious support)(pay and non-pay) funding in the financial year 2009/10 (or, if this is unavailable, in 2008/09). Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Yours faithfully,

Robert Christian

Dear Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre NHS Trust,

I don't seem to have received a response to my FOI request and wonder if you could give me an update?

Thank you.

Yours faithfully,

Robert Christian

Followed up separately as request via WDTK now received:

Dear Robert

Further to your recent Freedom of Information request please find below the response from the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre NHS Trust.

As the costs relate almost exclusively to the salary of a single individual, we are unable share this as we regard such information as confidential. The Trust only spent £19 on direct non-pay costs for the chaplaincy last year.

Please accept my apologies for the delay in responding.

Thanks

Kelly

Dear Kelly

Thank you for looking into this. I appreciate the sensitivity of the issue and don't want to pry into an individual staff member's salary. Is it possible to say what Agenda for Change band the post is graded at? Thank you for your assistance.

Regards

Robert
