Outsourced Radiology Reporting Services

The request was successful.

Dear Royal Papworth Hospital NHS Foundation Trust,

I would be most grateful if you would provide me, under the Freedom of Information Act, details in respect to the following.

The details we require are:

• Does the Trust make use of outsourced tele-radiology reporting services for either overnight on-call (emergency) or routine radiology reporting (or both)?

• If you do make use of tele-radiology reporting, please provide the names of the providers of each service (on-call and elective separately please)?

• If you do make use of tele-radiology reporting services, please provide the annual volumes for both 2019 and for 2020 sent to each provider, broken into the following:

o Overnight on-call
o Elective Reporting (MRI, CT)
o Plain Film Reporting
o Split into each hospital within the Trust

• Start date, duration and end date of any contracts with tele-radiology providers?

• Was the contract procured via a framework (direct award, which framework?), mini-tender, or ITT procurement process?

• Who is the senior officer (outside of procurement) responsible for this contract?

Thank you for your help.

Yours faithfully,

Mr J Hetfield

Dear James,

 

I acknowledge on behalf of Royal Papworth NHS Foundation Trust receipt of
your Freedom of Information request Ref: 4638. You should receive a
response on or before 14/05/21.

 

The Royal Papworth NHS Foundation Trust is committed to the Freedom of
Information Act 2000.

 

However, the NHS is facing unprecedented challenges relating to the
coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic at the current time.  Understandably, our
resources have been diverted to support our front-line colleagues who are
working tremendously hard to provide care for our patients, and to those
in need of our services.

 

We strive to be transparent and to work with an open culture.  But at this
time, whilst care of our patients and the safety of our staff takes
precedent, it is likely that responses to some requests for information
will be delayed.  We apologise for this position in advance, and will
endeavour to provide you with as much information as we can, as soon as we
are able.

 

The Information Commissioners Office has recognised the current situation
in the NHS.

 

Kind regards

 

Angie Morrison
