Digital Dictation
Dear East Sussex Downs and Weald Primary Care Trust (PCT),
Under the freedom of information act, please could you tell me:
1) The names of any hospitals (including any secondary care provision such as community or mental health) that fall under your control.
2) Whether any of the afore mentioned bodies use digital dictation and/or Speech Recognition. If so which organisations use what systems?
3) If none are used or they are only used in some areas, are there any plans to implement these type of systems more extensively to increase efficiency and improve patient care?
4) If Systems are already in place, when are they to be reviewed.
Yours faithfully,
Marc Cousins
Kind Regards
Ami
Freedom of Information Officer

Dear foi (EAST SUSSEX DOWNS AND WEALD PCT),
Hi Ami, Thank you for your prompt response. Can i ask for a little further clarification please. I was under the impression that the PCT was responsible for the following hospitals:
Lewes Victoria Hospital (ESD&W PCT)
Newhaven Rehabilitation Centre (ESD&W PCT)
Uckfield Community Hospital (ESD&W PCT)
Crowborough War Memorial Hospital (ESD&W PCT)
Rye Memorial Care Centre (H&R PCT)
Has the control of these hospitals passed to the Trust you mentioned?
Yours sincerely,
Marc Cousins
Hi Marc,
As from the 1st April 2011 all Community Services (Physiotherapy, District Nursing, Podiatry etc) and Community Hospitals such as the ones you mentioned below, come under the East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust.
I hope this clarifies the question for you.
Kind Regards
Ami
