Dear Freedom of Information,
Thank you for your reply.
What was meant by the term insourcing is where services offered by the Trust are mirrored in an evening and on weekends to reduce waiting times and to offer more flexible appointment times.
The work is performed on the Trusts own premises with the trusts equipment, but the staffing and service is provided by a Third Party.
Yours sincerely,
Sarah James
