Contact details and budget information for the training of qualified nurses.

King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust did not have the information requested.

Dear King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust,

I am writing to request contact information for the person that is responsible for the training of qualified nurses within your hospital. This information needs to consist of name, address, contact number and email address.
I also would like to request the annual budget spent on nurse qualifications (post registration qualifications).

Yours faithfully,

Sandy Atkins

Sending a FOI response in a password protected word document (with the password sent separately) appears a very odd way to release information to the public!

When I try to open the document I get an error saying the password is wrong, but I have been able to open it in "Read Only" mode - without a password.

The substantive response states:

The Trust does hold the information you have requested. The responsibility for training of qualified nurses within the Trust is Dr. Angela Grainger, Assistant Director of Nursing - Education & Research. However, the Trust policy is that we will publish only generic contact details of senior management. This policy helps protect staff from being bombarded with emails and correspondence not directly related to their role and the work they are doing. Accordingly, please note that the main telephone line for the Trust is indicated at the top of this letter.

To date, the annual budget spent on post registration nursing qualifications is £1,003,710. Please note that the annual cycle for this budget runs from September 2009 to August 2010, as it is associated with the financial year of most institutes for higher education.
