Dear NHS Trust/Health Board,

Please could you provide the below information:

1. What was the Trust's total insourcing spend for the financial year 2023-2024?
2. Which specialties did the Trust use insourcing for, and which insourcing providers were used for each of these specialties?
3. Does the Trust currently have any live insourcing contracts with suppliers, and if so, which specialties and suppliers are these with?

FYI: 'Insourcing' refers to the employment of a 3rd party organisation to perform clinical services on NHS Trust sites. For example, Dermatology outpatient clinics, theatres, etc.

Yours faithfully,

Zoe Dawkins

Dear Zoe Dawkins,

 

Thank you for your request for information from Airedale NHS Foundation
Trust. Your request has been given the Reference Number ANHSFT REF 7220.

 

We will now proceed to process the request.  The deadline date for issuing
you with a full response is 05/07/2024.   We will try to respond to you
before this date and we will contact you if we envisage delays or if we
need more information from you.

 

Please note that under the Freedom of Information Act, some information
can be subject to exemptions, which means that the Trust does not have to
provide the information requested.  Some exemptions are “absolute” such as
personal information and some only apply where the “public interest” in
maintaining the exemption, outweighs that of providing the information.

 

In some cases, where identifying, retrieving, and processing the requested
information requires more time than the “appropriate cost limit” of two
and half day’s work, we may refuse the request, or we can charge a fee. 
If the latter is the case, I will let you know, and a Fees Notice will be
issued to you.  In that case you would need to pay the fee before we
proceeded with your request, but we will offer assistance and advise you
if, by modifying your request, we could provide you with some non-exempt
or free of charge information.

 

Please contact me, quoting the Reference Number above, with any questions
you might have about your request.
