| Question Number 1: Your trust was contracted with Lloyds Pharmacy Healthcare Services Ltd for outpatient pharmacy services at the time that the firm ceased trading in the summer. You now need to find an alternative provider of outpatient pharmacy services. Please can you tell me whether the trust has made a decision on a replacement provider for this service? And if so can you tell me what organisation you have contracted to provide the service? | |
| Answer To Question 1: No formal decision has been made or approved by Trust Board. | |
| Question Number 2: Please provide me with the time an date, agenda and minutes of any meetings held by the trust internally and with outside organisations (including other NHS organisations) on the subject of finding a replacement for LPHS, that took place after the announcement in August that that firm would no longer be providing the service to you. | |
| Answer To Question 2: This information is exempt under section 43 (commercial interests) of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), as the information would be likely to prejudice the commercial interests. SFT has considered the public interest in disclosing this information and has determined that the prejudice arising from disclosure outweighs the benefit to the public; It has determined that disclosure could result in a competitive disadvantage to the supplier, could damage the supplier’s and the Trust’s commercial interests and could damage the Trust’s financial interests. Please see attached exemption notice. | |
