Mandatory training costs

The request was partially successful.

Dear Dumfries and Galloway NHS Board,

Can you please provide information regarding the following questions:

1. Do you outsource any of the mandatory training for clinical staff? Such as Online training regarding Infection control, consent, safeguarding adults and children, radicalisation and Equality and diversity.

2. If you outsource the training material in any way, what is the annual cost for this? If you require a specific time frame for this, 2018/2019 costing period would be preferred.

3. If you do not outsource, can you estimate the cost to the trust to design, maintain, monitor and accredit this training with Skills for Health and any other accreditation such as CPD? If you require a specific time frame for this, 2018/2019 costing period would be preferred.

4. Do currently outsource for any other training, either classroom based or online, that is not classed as standard mandatory training? Such as mental health in the work place, physical restraint training or anything else along these lines.

5. If so, can you provide the estimated annual cost for this? If you require a specific time frame for this, 2018/2019 costing period would be preferred.

6. If no, but you offer this training in-house, can you also supply us with the annual cost for this, and frequency of training. If you require a specific time frame for this, 2018/2019 costing period would be preferred.

Yours faithfully,

Daniel Jones
