Good afternoon,

Please could you answer the following questions-

• Do you outsource your printing and posting of your patient correspondence?
• If so, which company, and when will the contract end?
• What volume of patient letters do you send per year and how much budget does the Trust spend?
• Does the Trust send text alerts/ emails to patients?
• If so, which external company and contract details
• Does the Trust have a franking machine/ internal post room?
• How many Radiology appointments do you offer patients per year, including all types e.g. Plain film, MRI etc ?

Many thanks,

Yours faithfully,
