Dear :FOI,
Thanks for the reply.
What was meant by Insourcing was extending the services you offer during standard hours to evenings and weekends in order to reduce waiting times or offer more flexible appointment times.
The work is performed on the Trusts own premises and uses the Trusts own equipment, but all staffing and resources are provided by a Third Party.
Yours sincerely,
Sarah James
