Dear Kazeem, Toyin,

Thanks for your response, so to clarify the FOI response am I right in thinking:
That the Trust doesn't help patients find volunteering outside the Trust but during 2017 both the Trust and it's charity may have used patients as volunteers?

As in the original request is there any indication of numbers each had and roughly how many hours were put in to both the organisation and charity?

Did the Trust enable any other organisations to to recruit patients as volunteers?

Yours sincerely,

Spencer Gasson

Dear Kazeem, Toyin,

Its not because of my view of the trust or a particular staff member its due to being covered by section 42 of the Care Act 2014 partly because of medication from the trust. Unfortunately it wasn't resolved or addressed so I'm having to do my best now the trust can't be involved because of the Care Act.

I'll try to keep requests as few as possible but I can't promise once a week, sorry.

Yours sincerely,

Spencer Gasson
