Hello
I am PhD student at the University of Huddersfield. The aim of my research project is to identify the optimal design of a care plan template for use in NHS Community Mental Health Teams. The care plan is intended to improve service user outcomes through facilitating service user involvement in care planning and co-production of the care plan. One of the objectives of the project is to determine the range of care plan templates currently in clinical use across secondary NHS Community Mental Health teams in England and Wales. To this end, can you please provide:
1. A blank community mental health team care plan care plan template. Or
2. A community mental health team care plan completed as ‘dummy patient’
3. The name of the electronic health record that you use

FOI Request – Information requested:
1. Please provide on an all-specialties basis, for the end of February 2021. your aggregate 52+ weeks incomplete pathways RTT data, broken down into weekly time bands: >52-53 weeks, >53-54 weeks, >54-55 weeks, and so on, up to the weekly time band containing the longest-waiting patient.
The published RTT incomplete pathways data separately identifies patients with a decision to admit, again broken down into weekly time bands, in the “Provider with DTA” worksheet of the published spreadsheets referred to above. Trusts have in recent months coded these patients by clinical priority P1-P6., based on the guide published by the Federation of Surgical Specialty Associations. However the published RTT data is not broken down by clinical priority, nor do the time bands reflect the time since decision to admit.
The clinical priority categories are:
• Priority 1 operation needed within 72 hours.
• Priority 2 surgery which can be deferred for up to four weeks.
• Priority 3 surgery which can be delayed for up to three months.
• Priority 4 surgery which can be delayed for more than three months.
• Priority 5 patients who have requested to remain on the waiting list but to defer treatment because of their concerns about covid-19.
• Priority 6 Patients who have been offered treatment but have declined to accept for non-Covid reasons, but still wish to remain on the waiting list.
• Or the patient may not have been assigned a priority.
2. Please provide on an all-specialties basis, for the end of February 2021. your aggregate waiting times for incomplete pathways with a decision to admit for treatment, broken down by priority code, and also broken down by the time waited since decision to admit NOT the time since referral. in weekly time bands: 0-1 weeks, >1-2 weeks, >2-3 weeks, >3-4 weeks, and so on, up to the weekly time band containing the patient who has waited longest since decision to admit. Trusts have also started coding patients who do not have a decision to admit, using the same clinical priority categories.
3. Please provide on an all-specialties basis, for the end of February 2021. your aggregate waiting times for incomplete pathways without a decision to admit for treatment, broken down by priority code, and also broken down by the time waited since referral in weekly time bands: 0-1 weeks, >1-2 weeks, >2-3 weeks, >3-4 weeks, and so on, up to the weekly time band containing the patient who has waited longest. If data for the end of February 2021 is no longer available, then more recent data may be provided instead, in which case please advise the census date you have used.
If you are not the correct person to respond to part/all of the request, I would be grateful if you could let me know as soon as possible, and suggest who I need to send it to or forward it onto the person in question and copy me in.

What data, if any, do you report on internally in relation to patients e.g. Protected Characteristics
AIS /access needs
analysis of patients on waiting lists / referrals
intersectionality e.g. with diagnoses, postcode etc anything else?
We can then see whether we are currently recording similar data and how complete our data sets are if we are recording it.

We are contacting you to ask for further information concerning your provision of health visiting services. Please ignore any previous request sent from info@risingstarsmentoring.org. This was sent accidentally.
As you may recall, Dr. Gabriella Conti, professor at the Department of Economics, University College London, and our team are working to evaluate the impact of health visiting on health outcomes in England. Since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic we have been concerned about the families and children that rely on health visitors for vital care and safeguarding. Our research on health visiting during the pandemic has already reached policy makers and chief nurses, was cited in the recent Westminster Hall Debate on maternal mental health led by Sarah Olney MP and was featured on a BBC radio programme and in news outlets such as the Guardian. You have already provided us with highly valuable information on your health visiting services during the first wave of COVID-19. We released our findings in a briefing note – do let us know if you would like us to share this with you. This has been shared widely and was well received by Andrea Leadsom’s Early years healthy development review team. Thank you for your helpful responses. We hope to continue improving awareness of the challenges faced by health visiting teams and raising health visiting up the policy agenda.
Our previous FOI requests asked about staff redeployment up to September, but the pandemic continued, with further waves of COVID-19. We are however further interested in studying the periods preceding the pandemic to properly compare outcomes and hence are seeking information on your health visiting teams for the preceding period. We are writing to you under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to request the following information, for Gloucestershire County Council
Regarding your health visiting teams for Gloucestershire County Council on the 1st of February 2016, 2017, 2018 AND 2019:
1. How many FTE health visitors were employed in your health visiting teams? Both with and without caseload.. Please provide this information broken down by NHS pay band. 2. How many FTE clinical staff who are NOT coded as health visitors. were employed in your health visiting teams? Both with and without caseload.. Please provide this information broken down by NHS pay band.
We hope that the attached excel table makes clear exactly what we are requesting – please use this as a template. Regarding the questions above: – For your answers, please either use the NHS Digital definition of health visitor below or alternatively provide the definition that you are using in your answer.
Definitions: Definition used by NHS Digital re. Health visitors notes 28 and 29 from the nursing, midwifery and health visiting staff matrix of Occupation Code Manual.: 28. Please ensure to code the following as Health Visitors: * qualified nurses/midwives who also hold a qualification as a Registered Health Visitor under the Specialist Community Public Health Nursing part of the NMC Register working directly with children and families; * qualified and registered Health Visitors who perform specific activities such as providing breastfeeding advice to parents; * family nurses working within the Family Nurse Partnership Programme who are qualified and registered as Health Visitors; * Sure Start Children’s Centre qualified and registered named Health Visitors; * managers within a Health visiting team who hold a health visiting qualification and registration and are involved in clinical work or safeguarding.
29. Please ensure that the following employees are not coded as Health Visitors:
* any person working in a health visiting team who does not hold a qualification and registration as a Health Visitor;
* any person who holds a qualification and registration as a Health Visitor but is not employed in a role where this is a requirement;
* managers within a health visiting team who hold health visiting qualification and registration but are not involved in clinical work or safeguarding.
Please see below the general definition for ‘health visitor’ from the Occupation Code Manual:
Health Visitor: an employee who holds a qualification as a Registered Health Visitor under the Specialist Community Public Health Nursing part of the NMC Register and who occupies a post where such a qualification is a requirement.

Subject: An FOI request: Treatment as usual in terms of the provision of physical activity opportunities
This email originated from outside of the organisation. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognise the sender and know the content is safe. If unsure, please contact ghcit@ghc.nhs.uk
I would be very grateful if you could possibly help me. We are undertaking project which aims to describe usual care in terms of current physical activity programmes that are offered to people with severe mental ill health SMI. in NHS Mental Health Trusts in England.
Provision of physical activity PA. programmes varies across the trusts and remains unknown to the wider community of interest. This variation in PA provision for people with SMI has, in some locations, hindered commissioning and evaluation of the programmes. Furthermore, there are no guidelines that specify the optimal PA provision/TAU for those with SMI. This is a further significant gap, given that provision of PA has the potential to reduce the burden on the NHS, communities and society as a whole. Our work/project will produce new knowledge that will be of value to policy makers, commissioners and providers who are involved in the current provision of PA for those with SMI. It is organised by researchers from Sheffield Hallam University, University of York, Northumbria University and King’s College London. It has been funded by the UKRI Policy Support Fund and it has been approved by the Northumbria University Research Ethics Committee. We would be very grateful if you could provide us with information about current physical activity programmes that offered to people with SMI in your Trust. The easiest way to provide this information is through filling out the questionnaire survey. It consists of 19 questions, and it will take approximately 20 minutes to complete. To participate, click on the link below:
https://york.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_2bO1CFWTKZsFEYC
I’ve also attached the Word document version of the FOI request. Alternatively, if you would like to discuss with us the provision of PA opportunities for people with SMI during an online meeting or phone conversation, please let us know. I would be very grateful if you could let me know which options is the most convenient for you.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Many thanks and kind regards,
