Pager devices

The request was successful.

Dear Lothian NHS Board,

How many pager devices are operated by the health board?
What is the monthly cost per device to the health board?
What was the total spend on pager devices for financial years 2015-16 and 2016-17?

How many bleep devices are operated by the health board?
What is the bleep cost per device to the health board?
What was the total spend on bleep devices for financial years 2015-16 and 2016-17?

Does your health board have any plans to move away from using pager/bleep devices, if so, what are the alternatives?

Yours faithfully,

Joe Howard

Pillath, Bryony, Lothian NHS Board
