Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to request information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

I would like to receive information regarding spending and patient numbers for the Nightingale hospital that this health trust manages.

Specifically I would like to know:

1) How much was spent with consultancy firms (such as KPMG, Deloitte or any other consultancy firm) for work on the Nightingale hospital. Please break down the data by firm and spend, i.e. KMPG: £1million, Deloitte: £1million, etc
2) Please provide a brief description of the work these consultancy firms carried out on the Nightingale hospital.
3) Please provide patient numbers for the Nightingale hospital from its date of opening to October 2, 2020.
4) What is the current status of the Nightingale hospital? Is it still available for the health trust to use to treat patients, is it mothballed, has it been closed down, or another status?

If this request is too wide or unclear, I would be grateful if you could contact me as I understand that under the Act you are required to advise and assist requesters. If any of this information is already in the public domain, please can you direct me to it, with page references and URLs if necessary.

I understand that you are required to respond to my request within the 20 working days after you receive this letter. I would be grateful if you could confirm in writing that you have received this request.

Yours faithfully,
Emma Youle

Dear FOI team,

Thanks for the response to this FOI, ref RO/MW/GB/FOI.

Please can you clarify a point in relation to question 1. Your response says £82,782 was spent with consultancy firms (such as KPMG, Deloitte or any other firm) for work on the Nightingale Hospital. Please can you clarify which firm or firms this money was spent with and how much with each firm?

For example:
- KPMG - £50,000
- Deloitte - £30,000
etc

Apologies if the FOI was not clear enough that I required the information broken down in this way, but I look forward to receiving a response from you with this information.

Yours sincerely,
Emma Youle
