Costs recovered from overseas visitors

The request was successful.

Dear Barts Health NHS Trust,
I would like information regarding how much money overseas visitors managers (OVMs) with the Trust have recouped from overseas visitors, between 01 October 2014 and this date, 07/07/2015.

I would also like to know a figure, possibly an estimate figure, as to how much the establishment of an OVM team has cost the Trust between those dates.

Yours faithfully,
M C Atkinson
