I am an academia from UCL and I am now doing a research project regrading finance in NHS. I would like to request annual report and financial statements of your trust for year 2021-2022 and 2024-2025 which are not available on your website.
Can you please provide the following information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

a. 2020/21
b. 2021/22
c. 2022/23
d. 2023/24
e. 2024/25

What is the age and gender of those identified above? (For this question, I am not requesting any information that would identify patients).
I am writing to request information on vegan options. I request the information below under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
Freedom of Information Request
1. Have you undertaken an equality impact assessment for vegans at the NHS? If yes, can you provide a copy of the assessment?
2. Are you following your public sector equality duty toward vegans? Please provide any documents or information to explain whether and how the PSED is being followed towards vegans.
3. Do you guarantee a full vegan option that is nutritionally appropriate on all NHS menus and cafeterias at all times, for all meals, including breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack options. By ‘guaranteed’ I mean, is there always a fully vegan option available.
For clarity, a salad without a plant-based protein and starch or carbohydrate would obviously not be nutritionally appropriate, nor would having only fruit or toast with jam available for a vegan person. For example, many vegetarian options adapted to be vegan would not be nutritionally appropriate as they would be lacking in protein unless there was a substitution provided.
4. Do you guarantee plant milk availability on all NHS campuses for coffee and tea? For clarity, plant milk refers to: Soy, oat, almond, or coconut milk.
Under the Freedom of Information Act, can you please supply for your NHS board:
● The total number of consultant-level doctors you currently have [WTE or equivalent]
● The total number of vacant consultant-level doctor posts you currently have [WTE or equivalent]
Please also supply:
● The total number of consultant-level posts substantially filled by agency locums for more than 6 months [WTE or equivalent]
● The total spend on agencies for locum consultants (both framework and non-framework) for the 2024/25 financial year [£s]
● Any existing or planned controls on recruitment of medical staff in 2025/26 [free text]
