FOI Request

Hi I'm writing from Parkinson's UK to ask for data relating to Parkinson's specialists who work in your Trust, at your different sites. Ahead of the publication of the government's 10 year workforce plan we are trying to understand the number of consultants and specialist nurses who provide care and treatment to people with Parkinson's in your Trust at your different sites. Please could you therefore provide me with details of the number of: Specialist nurses you have working wholly or mostly with people with Parkinson’s at your Trust? Neurologists who have a specialist interest or declared knowledge of Parkinson’s at your Trust? Geriatricians who have a specialist interest or declared knowledge of Parkinson’s at your Trust? Thanks very much
