What were the original goals and targets of the Autism Training Team project and how does this link in with Moray’s Autism Strategy and the Scottish Autism Strategy?

When was the original funding for the project decided? What was the start date of the project/funding? Who applied for the original funding? How long was this funding for?

Where has the subsequent funding come from, and who applied for it? What were the conditions for this additional funding?

How was the Equality impact of the project assessed? What records are there for this?

Is this the only Autism Training offered by Moray Council for employees and services in Moray?

Is training compulsory for all employees/service providers to achieve the target of the Moray Autism Strategy that all services provided or funded by the Local Authority and National Health Service in Moray are Autism Aware.

If Moray Council or the National Health Service are not providing Autism Training, how will they fulfil the above element (all services are Autism Aware) of the Moray Autism Strategy?

If the Autism Training Team is to transfer to another organisation, what type of organisation can this be? Is it only a third sector organisation?

How will the incoming employer under a TUPE transfer be chosen? What criteria will be used? Who will make the final decision? When does the decision have to be made?

Who can be involved in the decision to transfer the Autism Training Team?

What investigation into the long-term potential and past activity of the incoming employer will be undertaken?

Does the incoming employer have to have offered autism training before?

Where will the opportunity to take over the Autism Training Team be advertised? Will it just be with tsiMoray? Does the incoming employer have to be a member of tsiMoray?

If an incoming employer is a SCIO will a search of the trustees/members and accounts be undertaken? Will that be available to all stakeholders including carers? (Under the rules of the OSCR this information is available.)

What will be the role of the Autism Partnership Board in the transfer of the Autism Training Team?

FOI/2017/671 Nov-17 Ref Qs Details of Request Request Recieved 17 1. Why are 4 senior executive managers required for this task? 2. Were local Australian recruitment agencies consulted? 3. Were local Scottish recruitment agencies contacted, there are local recruitment agencies who also have offices in Australia? 4. Were National recruitment agencies contacted, who also have recruitment offices in Australia? 5. Given that morale is so low, it’s evident that ARI are haemorrhaging nurses and unable to fill empty posts. Have confidential exit interviews been conducted to establish why nurses are leaving and/or taking early retirement? 6. Have systems been put in to place to find out why morale is so low (other than closed-question questionnaires), and what systems are in place to treat this? 7. Have any of the senior managers been engaging on social media sites? 8. With regard to the visas of British nationals running out in Australia, are these managers aware that many of those will opt to enter New Zealand where eventual re-entry to Australia can be easier? 9. [...] 10. [...]There have been a number of Spanish exchange nursing students in Aberdeen and whilst many of them have had very poor English on arrival, they have picked up English very quickly during their short visits here, which begs the question of support for overseas nurses with their language deficits rather than examining them at the point of entry? 11. There are very few European nurses working in ARI, there are a number of non-skilled personnel from Europe, but the impact of Brexit on registered nurses in ARI appears to be minimal, so the management team stating that there will be unnecessary barriers in finding staff in Europe would not seem entirely accurate? 12. [...] Surely, at a time of low supply and high demand for nurses, these returning nurses’ experience ought to be welcomed and reflected by putting them on the same scale as when they left, albeit on the Band 5, but surely not the same level as a newly qualified nurse! This is incredibly insulting and creates further low morale returners. 13. The healthcare unions such as the RCN, Unison, etc, are tackling the Government on the salaries of nurses. Qualified nurses who have undertaken a 4 year university course actually earn less than local teenage babysitters (£20 per hour)! Conditions need to be dealt with, deploying specialist nurses to areas that they are unfamiliar with, jeopardise their highly valued registration. Nurses are burnt out, why? [...] have taken early retirement, 20+ years of experience and knowledge lost. How much longer can the Government afford to lose skilled and experienced nurses...? 14. [...] The question arises, is it necessary for a nurse working in a care home to undergo a 4 year degree in Adult nursing? Areas such as Critical Care are extremely specialist, surely a foundation in nursing over 1-2 years and then a dedicated pathway to a specialist area 3 makes much more sense. This would also protect nurses who are frequently re-deployed in areas outside their specialism, but who are expected to have the knowledge and skills of their host area in paperwork, routines, pharmacology etc. Nursing must surely be the only profession that does not reward their employees when they do undertake further training, which is disgraceful. The Scottish Guild nurses have been employed recently by Grampian NHS raises the following questions: 1. Were other nursing recruitment agencies contacted regarding the acute shortage of nurses in Aberdeen and were other nursing recruitment agencies contacted regarding specialist critical care nurses? 2. The contract with the Nursing Guild weighed heavily in favour of their nurses, so at times when the critical care areas did not require them, the hospital was not allowed to cancel the Scottish Guild nurses and they were not dispatched to other areas that required assistance, however the permanent ARI nurses were redeployed to other areas and this built deep resentment of the agency staff, resulting again in low morale of the permanent crew. 3. Have Grampian NHS ever openly tendered for specialist nurses for short term contracts? If the Government truly want their hospitals to be no smoking areas, when will this happen?"

Is it first come first serve? Do you have a decision board or panel? Can you give information on their decision criteria. Or do you just never turn any projects away?

2. What influence does the CSO have on these externally funded projects that the CSO Board funding is used for?

2. To illustrate this question I want to give you an example. Say the CSO gives you £1000 for a year of board funding. you then 'host' a cancer project with externally funding of £40, a CVD/Stroke for £30, a mental health for £10 and a Public Health one for £20. So by % that is cancer accounted for 40% of the external funding, CVD/Stroke 30% etc.

a) How reasonable is it to use these % to calculate how the CSOs funding was used? (In this example is it reasonable to say that £400 (40% of £1000)of the CSO funding went to 'research' or to support research for cancer, £300 for CVD/Stroke etc) b) Does one or other of these 5 health categories typically use up more of the CSOs funding than another? c) Given your knowledge of your Board and the research how would you calculate how CSOs funding was used by illness if not as in 'a' d) If 'a' is unreasonable please send me a spreadsheet showing how CSO funding was used by category (cancer, CVD/Stroke etc) for 2011-2017

3. What is the year end for the CSOs board funding to you?

Jan-18 Ref Qs Details of Request Request Recieved 2 I am aware that Leanchoil Hospital Forres was funded by individuals to the community of the town many years ago. However, as with a number of cottage hospitals, the Secretary of State for Scotland "took" the hospitals under a Government run health board.

No monies changed hands by way of compensation as far as I am led to believe having read archived documents. I am aware also that there is a deed outlining this transfer of ownership.

I am also aware having made enquiries several years ago to the Grampian NHS Estates Dept that there is a "book value" a figure which was not divulged to me. Could the value of the overall site now be considered for release ?

The land itself is in a prime residential area and the building (listed) has been left to run down and is not fully functioning as a hospital which could result in the site being closed altogether in the not too distant future. If this was to happen, would the land and buildings be returned to the Community of Forres as it was "taken" in the first place without recompense?

For avoidance of doubt, a restricted list is where there is a restriction on the number new patients who can register. For example, in some practices that will mean that no new patients can register, while in others a restricted number of additional patients will be able to register each day/week/month. I would like to capture all these circumstances.

An example from a recent FOI to NHS Lothian shows the format that this information could be provided in:

FOI/2018/070 Jan-18 Ref Qs Details of Request Request Recieved 3 As you are aware the FreeStyle Libre Flash Glucose Monitoring device was approved for NHS prescription on 1 November 2017. Similar to our Diabetes UK colleagues across the UK, Diabetes

Scotland and our supporters welcomed this announcement wholeheartedly. However, we are alarmed at the disparity which already exists across the UK with Scotland lagging behind many other parts of the country in terms of providing FreeStyle Libre on prescription to people who could benefit.

In Wales, Northern Ireland and parts of England, people with diabetes are being prescribed FreeStyle Libre to help them better manage their condition. As far as we're aware, despite eligibility criteria being circulated to Health Boards by Scottish Diabetes Group, only one Health Board in Scotland is currently prescribing FreeStyle Libre.

Everyone has the right to the support and treatment that will allow them to live well. By supporting people with diabetes with the technology that will help them better understand and manage their diabetes, we will not only improve their quality of life but also support healthcare professionals to get a more accurate picture of how an individual's diabetes affects them day-to-day. When people are supported to live well with their diabetes their risk of complications is much reduced which, in turn, also results in cost savings for our health service with fewer hospital admissions.

In order to obtain a clear view of the situation across Scotland and how we compare to other parts of the UK, I would be most grateful if you could answer the following questions: • What is the position of NHS Grampian with regards to prescribing FreeStyle Libre Flash Glucose Monitoring? • When will people who meet the criteria outlined by Scottish Diabetes Group be able to access this technology on prescription within NHS Grampian? • If there is no plan for NHS Grampian to make FreeStyle Libre available on prescription to people living with diabetes in the near future, can you please explain why?

The Scottish Government confirmed in a Parliamentary Question that they expect all Health Boards to ensure appropriate referral and testing for Lynch syndrome occurs for all patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer before the age of 60. Please could you provide us with information on the following questions? We would appreciate it if you could select the answers to the written questions below by either highlighting the appropriate response or deleting the inapplicable. Please could I receive acknowledgement of this information request via email? I look forward to receiving your response within the given 20 working days. FOI questions 1. Do you refer newly diagnosed bowel cancer patients in your Health Board for testing of molecular features for Lynch syndrome using either immunohistochemistry or microsatellite instability testing?

2. If yes, at what stage does this testing take place?

3. Is this test carried out as a reflex test i.e. automatically or upon referral?

4. Is there a named individual within each colorectal team in your Health Board who is responsible for ensuring testing for molecular features of Lynch syndrome takes place?

FOI/2018/073 Jan-18 1 Under FOISA, can your health board please provide ASAP-NHS with the number of settlement agreements produced by your health board since 27th February 2014 and the number of these settlement agreements that contain confidentiality ‘gagging’ clauses?

You may recall that in 2014 the then cabinet secretary for health, Mr Alex Neil MSP, stated that ‘the presumption would be against the use of confidentiality clauses in NHS settlement agreements unless there was clear and transparent reasons for its inclusion’.

FOI/2018/074 Jan-18 1 -The number of patients aged under 16 who have been prescribed some form of contraception in the last three years.

Could you please break this down by year, and by age of the patient.

Could you also please state which type of contraceptive method was prescribed, for example the pill, implant, injections or IUD.' It was today reported in a Scottish newspaper that girls aged from 13 were being given the contraceptive implant in one health board area, and if possible I would like to compare this to other boards in Scotland.

From the reporting, I understand that it may be difficult to include the exact figures of some ages being given - for example the pill or another form of contraceptive- therefore, I would be happy to receive information which does not say how many people - say aged 13- where given the implant, but just notification that this has happened. However, this would only be if the health board could not provide the exact number of those in this age group for the certain type of contraceptive. Ideally, I would like a full breakdown.

The CE mark was suspended on 3rd August this year. Guidance October 2017: The device used in this procedure (Essure) no longer has a CE mark. The CE mark is necessary for medical devices to be used in EU countries. Therefore NICE has decided to suspend its guidance. NICE would consider whether to issue new guidance on “Hysteroscopic sterilisation by insertion of intrafallopian implants” should evidence including an appropriately CE marked device become available.

https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ipg587

We await your response, with answers as to how this is happening here in the UK and Ireland.

Are ladies being informed of the ban, and various symptoms shown in ladies here in the UK, before placement is made.

Q3. Does your Trust have access to Coronary CT Angiography with non-invasive FFR analysis or HeartFlow technology?

Q4. If so how many CT FFR scans have been performed in total in the past financial year (2016-2017)? FOI/2018/162 Feb-18 3 I understand that there are significant budgetary pressures in the NHS. The Freestyle device is cost effective for people with diabetes who are treated with insulin and testing frequently. It has also been firmly established that tight glycaemic control in people with diabetes is associated with a significant reduction in serious and costly long-term diabetes related complications. Therefore focusing spend on areas like Flash GM, which gives people the tools to manage their diabetes more effectively must therefore be an absolute priority. Please can you let me know: • If you have agreed a policy • What the policy is in terms of access and where this can be found publically • If you have not agreed a policy, when you plan to do so.

FOI/2018/163 Feb-18 3 Flash Glucose Monitoring (Flash GM) is a new technology that enables people with diabetes to check their glucose levels without the need to prick their fingers and draw blood. You may be aware that a Flash GM device, the FreeStyle Libre, was included on the drug tariff on 1st November 2017. Flash GM has a number of benefits: • It has been shown to better support someone’s self-management of their condition as it provides a greater density of data and the ability to follow trends in glucose levels, which are not available from less frequent blood glucose testing. • It can enable fine tuning of insulin and so reduces hypoglycaemia and increases time in target range of glucose levels (improved HbA1c). • People using the device have been shown to test glucose levels more frequently as it is easier, quicker and less painful than routine finger prick glucose monitoring. • Being able to check glucose levels frequently during the day is key to limiting hypoglycaemia and managing blood glucose. There are a number of areas in the country who have now agreed policies to provide access – and there are also sources of guidance about this: • NHS England Regional Medicines Optimisation Committee (North) position statement on the use of Flash (https://www.sps.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Flash-Glucose-monitoring- System-RMOC-Statement-final.pdf). • The Type 1 collaborative, a group of clinical specialists working in diabetes(https://abcd.care/getting-freestyle-libre-your-formulary). • Diabetes UK’s Consensus Guideline for Flash Glucose Monitoring (https://www.diabetes.org.uk/resources-s3/2017- 09/1190_Flash%20glucose%20monitoring%20guideline_SB_V9%5B4%5D.pdf) I understand that there are significant budgetary pressures in the NHS.

FOI/2018/231 Mar-18 3 Flash Glucose Monitoring (Flash GM) is a new technology that enables people with diabetes to check their glucose levels without the need to prick their fingers and draw blood. You may be aware that a Flash GM device, the FreeStyle Libre, was included on the drug tariff on 1st November 2017. Flash GM has a number of benefits: • It has been shown to better support someone’s self-management of their condition as it provides a greater density of data and the ability to follow trends in glucose levels, which are not available from less frequent blood glucose testing. • It can enable fine tuning of insulin and so reduces hypoglycaemia and increases time in target range of glucose levels (improved HbA1c). • People using the device have been shown to test glucose levels more frequently as it is easier, quicker and less painful than routine finger prick glucose monitoring. • Being able to check glucose levels frequently during the day is key to limiting hypoglycaemia and managing blood glucose. There are a number of areas in the country who have now agreed policies to provide access – and there are also sources of guidance about this: • NHS England Regional Medicines Optimisation Committee (North) position statement on the use of Flash (https://www.sps.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Flash-Glucose-monitoring- System-RMOC-Statement-final.pdf). • The Type 1 collaborative, a group of clinical specialists working in diabetes(https://abcd.care/getting-freestyle-libre-your-formulary). • Diabetes UK’s Consensus Guideline for Flash Glucose Monitoring (https://www.diabetes.org.uk/resources-s3/2017- 09/1190_Flash%20glucose%20monitoring%20guideline_SB_V9%5B4%5D.pdf) I understand that there are significant budgetary pressures in the NHS. The Freestyle device is cost effective for people with diabetes who are treated with insulin and testing frequently. It has also been firmly established that tight glycaemic control in people with diabetes is associated with a significant reduction in serious and costly long-term diabetes related complications. Therefore focusing spend on areas like Flash GM, which gives people the tools to manage their diabetes more effectively must therefore be an absolute priority. Please can you let me know: • If you have agreed a policy • What the policy is in terms of access and where this can be found publically • If you have not agreed a policy, when you plan to do so.

Below is a definition if helpful:

"Non-disclosure agreements Non-Disclosure Agreements is a catch-all term for agreements that include confidentiality clauses – sometimes referred to as gagging clauses. They are used in employment contracts for a range of purposes including, for example, protecting intellectual property, trade secrets or other confidential information such as customer details. They are also commonly used in agreements that are reached between employers and employees when employment is terminated (known as settlement agreements). However, there has also been criticism of their use in sexual harassment cases, with concerns that they may be used to conceal improper, discriminatory or even illegal behaviour or to impede reporting of such behaviour to the proper authorities."

Authorities are duty bound to reveal these agreements under the FOIA, as made clear in this government guidance concerning NDAs.

FOI/2018/322 May-18 3 I am writing to ask about the status of your local prescribing policies for Flash Glucose Monitoring/FreeStyle Libre technology. Flash Glucose Monitoring (Flash GM) is a new technology that enables people with diabetes to check their glucose levels without the need to prick their fingers and draw blood. You may be aware that a Flash GM device, the FreeStyle Libre, was included on the drug tariff on 1st November 2017. Flash GM has a number of benefits: • It has been shown to better support someone’s self-management of their condition as it provides a greater density of data and the ability to follow trends in glucose levels, which are not available from less frequent blood glucose testing. • It can enable fine tuning of insulin and so reduces hypoglycaemia and increases time in target range of glucose levels (improved HbA1c). • People using the device have been shown to test glucose levels more frequently as it is easier, quicker and less painful than routine finger prick glucose monitoring. • Being able to check glucose levels frequently during the day is key to limiting hypoglycaemia and managing blood glucose. There are a number of areas in the country who have now agreed policies to provide access – and there are also sources of guidance about this: • NHS England Regional Medicines Optimisation Committee (North) position statement on the use of Flash (https://www.sps.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Flash-Glucose-monitoring- System-RMOC-Statement-final.pdf). • The Type 1 collaborative, a group of clinical specialists working in diabetes(https://abcd.care/getting-freestyle-libre-your-formulary). • Diabetes UK’s Consensus Guideline for Flash Glucose Monitoring (https://www.diabetes.org.uk/resources-s3/2017- 09/1190_Flash%20glucose%20monitoring%20guideline_SB_V9%5B4%5D.pdf) I understand that there are significant budgetary pressures in the NHS. The Freestyle device is cost effective for people with diabetes who are treated with insulin and testing frequently. It has also been firmly established that tight glycaemic control in people with diabetes is associated with a significant reduction in serious and costly long-term diabetes related complications. Therefore focusing spend on areas like Flash GM, which gives people the tools to manage their diabetes more effectively must therefore be an absolute priority.

Please can you conduct a review of how this conclusion was reached, i.e. backup and provide the evidence, including financial calculations, which led to this conclusion / statement: “ FreeStyle Libre is significantly more expensive than blood glucose testing with no strong current evidence that outcomes are improved, therefore it is likely to be less cost effective than blood glucose testing and therefore the overall costs to the NHS will likely rise with no change in patient outcomes (based on current evidence).”
