The information you have requested is as follows:
Please confirm what telephony system the Trust uses ? 8x8

calls associated with Medway NHS Foundation Trust contact centres
(including main switchboard and Patient Service Centre) are recorded. But
not all incoming and outgoing calls are recorded
If you do not record calls can you confirm you rationale for not recording

recording.
If you do record please confirm for how long you retain any recordings and
the guidance and legislation that you follow in relation to retention and
destruction ? 1 Year. Considered guidance and regulation includes; NHS
Records Retention and Disposal Schedule, GDPR, Data Security and
