It’s impossible to say how many people have received training as training takes place in all different ways; reading journals for example, which we don’t/can’t record. Everyone does Information Governance training every year and at 95% compliance at least 95% of Trust staff i.e. approximate 5,100 people undertake some form of training each year. Almost all staff will do more than that; some will do a little more and some will do a lot more but we are unable to provide an accurate figure for the accumulated total. Should you have any queries in relation to our response in this letter, please do not hesitate to contact me. If you are unhappy with the response you have received in relation to your request and wish to ask us to review our response, you should write to: –
