Subject: Freedom of Information request: suicide prevention in mental health inpatient wards
Thank you for processing this freedom of information request, which is being sent to all 50 mental health NHS trusts in England and Wales.
The information we are seeking will inform a national study into the effectiveness of alarmed doors and anti-ligature products in reducing suicide rates on UK mental health inpatient wards. The results of the study will be of great value to NHS trusts and health boards in their decision-making around the procurement of these products, taking into account the substantial costs. To provide relevant estimates, we are relying on completeness of data provided by NHS trusts. On study completion write-up to be completed by September 2023. the authors will disseminate the findings to all Trusts and health boards providing data, as well as to central and local stakeholders.
The study is being undertaken at UCL University College London. by a team of NHS staff with dual clinical and academic NHS/UCL contracts. The study’s primary supervisor is Dr Alexandra Pitman, Associate Professor in Psychiatry at UCL, who is an academic consultant psychiatrist with experience as clinical lead of an inpatient psychiatric ward. The study’s secondary supervisor is Professor Sonia Johnson, Professor of Social and Community Psychiatry at UCL and Director of the NIHR Mental Health Policy Research Unit PRU. for England, which provides evidence to the Department of Health and Social Care and its arm’s length bodies to support policy. As the lead researcher, my own background is as a registered mental health nurse currently studying for a MSc at UCL.

I am writing to you to make a request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. Please send me:
• Total spend on the use of clinical insourcing not agency/locum or outsourcing. in the current 2020/21 financial year. Please breakdown this FY only into each month.
• Total spend on the use of clinical insourcing not agency/locum or outsourcing. in the 2019/20 financial year.

• Total spend on the use of clinical insourcing not agency/locum or outsourcing. in the 2017/18 financial year.
I would like the above information to be provided to me via excel to this email address.
Insourcing – not to be confused with outsourcing – is where a third party provider of secondary care uses an NHS organisation’s premises and equipment to deliver extra clinical capacity, outside of when they are normally in use. In most cases it is essentially an extension of a hospital’s existing clinical service.
If this request is too wide or unclear, I would be grateful if you could contact me as I understand that under the Act, you are required to advise and assist requesters. I have already searched to see if any of this information is already in the public domain including via your own site. so please respond via the request.
If the release of any of this information is prohibited on the grounds of breach of confidence, I ask that you supply me with copies of the confidentiality agreement and remind you that information should not be treated as confidential if such an agreement has not been signed.

Thank you for your recent Freedom of Information request. In order to respond to your request our information teams are seeking the below clarification:
