Planned job cuts, or potential job cuts under consideration by the trust; again, this should include as much detail as possible on how many of the cuts are to clinical posts, and within that, how many doctors, nurses etc and in which departments; and also, how many of the cuts are to management posts
Nothing to report
Confirmed, planned or potential (i.e. under consideration) reductions in services or closures in departments or wards as a result of central government budget cuts
Nothing to report
The overall cumulative debt, if any, owed by the trust, and the most recent profit/loss made by the trust (please give the applicable financial year)
I refer you to our annual accounts on our website, which details information on the debt & retained surplus :
I am also requesting any official trust management board documents or reports that may have been prepared that detail any cuts specified above; this final request only applies to the extent that it can be fulfilled within the statutory time and cost limit as referred to within the terms of the Freedom of Information Act. This final request takes lower priority than the bullet-pointed requests listed above.
All Trust management board documents are published on the Trust’s webiste. Therefore Section 22 of the FOI Act is being apllied as these topics, when discussed, will be published in the future in this way. |
