————————-Sir, Madam
I am trying to understand the level of clinical trials activity that is taking place in the UK. Specifically can you tell me how many commercial clinical trials have been taking place in this hospital trust during 2021?
This could be completed trials, or trials that are ongoing. When I say “commercial trials”, I mean trials that are funded or sponsored by a commercial company such as a pharmaceutical company.
Thanks for your assistance

Under the FOI Act please provide me with the information below. Please confirm receipt of this request as soon as possible. The number of inpatients who are currently medically fit to leave hospital in your area, but still reside there. Please provide this as a series of data points for the last calendar year and the year to date, broken down by day. For each day, please break the data into further categories which detail the reason behind the delayed discharge. I am aware that some of the data showing the total number of delayed transfers of care is published here: https://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/statistical-work-areas/discharge-delays-acute-data/ however I am looking for further information relating to the cause of the discharge delay. For example, the Welsh Government also used to publish a detailed breakdown of reasons behind delayed discharge - https://statswales.gov.wales/Catalogue/Health-and-Social-Care/NHS-Performance/Delayed-Transfers-of-Care By way of illustration, a response may look like this: 01/01/22 - 100 people awaiting discharge, 20 awaiting physiotherapy, 30 awaiting transport home, 50 awaiting care packages 02/01/22 – 90 people awaiting discharge, 15 awaiting physiotherapy, 30 awaiting transport home, 45 awaiting care packages And so on…. Please provide this data in a spreadsheet format such as excel or a .csv file, with columns for the date, total number of patients and reasons for delay.

As part of the Clinical Psychology Training Programme at the University of Birmingham, we are currently in the process of reviewing our recruitment and selection processes. In the future, we hope to ensure that our trainees are representative of the diverse communities and people that live in the Midlands region and that access onto our training programme is fair and equitable. We have partnered with the British Psychological Society BPS. and the Psychological Professions Network PPN. to undertake this task, as we also hope to develop some synergy across the region in a combined approach to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion EDI. within the psychological workforce . Before we can make any formal changes to the process, we first require data about the diversity within the Practicing Psychologist workforce ethnicity and gender.. I have approached various psychology leads to obtain this information at a regional level, however, what is evident is that this data is not held centrally. I was therefore wondering how I could obtain the following sets of information from your Trust
1. The total number of all Practicing Psychologists in your Trust as defined by the HCPC
2. The total number of Clinical Psychologists in your Trust
3. The ethnic breakdown of all Practicing Psychologists in your Trust via census categories
4. The ethnic breakdown of all Clinical Psychologists in your Trust via Census categories. 5. The gender breakdown of all Practicing Psychologist in your Trust via census categories
6. The gender breakdown of all Clinical Psychologists in your Trust via census categories

Thank you for obtaining this response. Please pass on my thanks to the clinician/s involved too. I would like to seek clarification on some of the answers so that we have the details we need for this project.
Question 2
• Can you please ask the service to outline what is involved in Intensive Clinical Management ICM.?
• Please ask the service how the Compassion Focused Therapy pilot was delivered. Was this as outpatient therapy once per week or provided more intensively?
Question 3
• The answer to question 3 concerning ICM states that ICM will vary in intensity and frequency. While we appreciate that the intensity of the treatment will vary depending on patient need, for this project we need to know specifics around the maximum intensity of treatment that such services are able to provide. This is because we are then intending to map this nationally against a recommended level derived from the academic evidence. Can you please ask the service what ICM could entail – as a maximum – in terms of the number of contacts per week and the duration of those contacts?
• Please ask the service whether the answer to the sub-question about supervised meal support relates solely to the paused Day Treatment programme? If meal support can be provided as part of ICM please can they disclose the maximum number of meals that can be supported per day?
Question 8
• In line with the principles behind section 16 of the FOI Act, could the service please disclose the typical number of patients it would expect to be receiving Intensive Clinical Management ICM. at any one time?

I am currently undertaking some research into how often post occupancy evaluations take place following completion of a capital project within the NHS. Whilst the planning of post occupancy evaluations is a part of the five case model for developing public sector business cases, RIBA Plan of work stage 7 and is integral to P23 contracts, it does not appear that many post occupancy evaluations are actually undertaken, or published. I am trying to understand if NHS Trusts do undertake post occupancy evaluations but don’t publish the outcome, or the reasons preventing them from undertaking post occupancy evaluation. I would very much appreciate it if you could please answer the following questions related to this subject:
1. Has the Trust undertaken and completed any capital construction projects within the last 5 years?
2. If yes, was a post occupancy evaluation POE. study carried out after the project’s completion?
3. If no, what were the reasons for not carrying out a POE?
4. If a POE was carried out did the Trust find the results of this beneficial?
5. If a POE was carried out were the results published and/or shared within the wider NHS?
6. Please could contact details be provided of anyone within the Trust who would be willing to take part in a more detailed discussion about POE
