Cost of publicity events in support of Quickheart

The request was successful.

Dear Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council,

I would like to know how much money has been spent promoting the council's social care portal, provided by Quickheart.

Specifically :

Q1 : Since the contract started in 2009, how many public events have been attended jointly by council staff and Quickheart staff? An example of such an event would be the NCASC conference

Q2 : How many staff days have been used in support of such events - both the attendance itself, and preparatory meetings? In order to enable this to be estimated without incurring too much time, I would be happy with a reasonable estimate

Q3 : What other costs have been incurred by the council in connection with such events? For example, cost of hotels, cost of venue hire, printing costs etc

Yours faithfully,

Martyn Frobisher

FOI Officer, Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council
