Insourcing Utilisation
Dear The NHS Trust,
Please can you provide some clarification the below queries:
- Has the trust utilised "Insourcing" with the FY 22/23?
- What was the insourcing spend by the trust for 22/23?
- How was Insourcing procured by the trust? Was a particular framework used?
- Outside of procurement team who is the Senior Officer responsible for Insourcing?
For clarity, 'insourcing' is defined as: "where an NHS organisation sub-contracts medical services/procedures. It differs to locum supply in that the full end to end service is provided, not just staff."
Yours faithfully,
Zoe Upshall
