Freedom of Information disclosure log

I would like to request under FOI any reports, planning or research produced by or for your organisation in the past 12 months on the impact of Brexit, particularly no-deal or 'hard Brexit' scenarios.

A dental nurse on NHS 111 advised me that there are no out of hours dental services in Scotland. If this is true, why is this the case?

1. A breakdown of the full costs incurred organising and holding a training and/or team-bonding event at Edinburgh Zoo, attended by the Protecting Health commission group, last December.
2. Copies of electronic communications sent between NHS managers in relation to the organisation of this event.

Do you happen to have information on the earnings of dentists within Scotland from 2011 onwards?  I can only find 2015 onwards and would like to see the previous 4 years please.

Out of the 528 Beneficiaries, how many are Haemophiliacs? But also, how many of the Haemophiliacs are Factor 8? How many are Factor 9?

Can you supply the number of exemptions sought from NHS dental charges by adults in Scotland broken down by year, for both 2017 and 2018.  Please note: This question would seek to define adults as those over 18. However to expedite the process I would accept any definition supplied that meets the criteria set out by your age exemptions (whether that is over 16, etc).

Request for complaints against Community Pharmacies in Dumfries and Galloway from 2017 to the present day.

• Could you please tell me how many patients the company Optical Express has treated on behalf of the NHS?
• I'd also like to know which procedures they have undergone and over what timescale.
• I'd also like to ask if this information could be broken down into areas of Scotland, ie X patients in NHS Highland area and so on.
• Could I also ask how much the company has been paid by the NHS for this work?

In each of the past five financial years, 

1. The number of fraud allegations that have been made in Scottish health boards. 

2. The number of fraud investigations that have been carried out, broken down by the relevant health board if possible. 

3. The number of investigations that have made a finding of fraudulent activity, broken down by the relevant health board if possible.

My questions are in relation to registration and use of chronic prescribing:

1. What was the total number of patients registered for CMS end 2017 2018 and now?
2. I know you analyse the number of items actually prescribed under CMS monthly can you provide a total for 2017 2018. And first quarter 2019
3. Is it possible to link the number of registrations and prescriptions to each GP practice?
4. Can you provide an analysis of number of registered patients in each Board area and the board population as demonisation in each case?
5. What was the total cost of registration in 2017 and 2018?
6. Has any evaluation of the chronic medicines prescribing system been undertaken and if so published or made available online?
7. The GPs and other prescribers still have to sign manually all scripts. Are there any plans to move to electronic signatures? If not what are the barriers to this?
8. As I understand it the scripts are still passed manually to the community pharmacist who then have to enter the details onto computer for dispensing and pricing. Is this now digitised? Are there any plans to allow electronic (secure) transmission electronically from GP and others to the community pharmacist to eliminate the intermediate step?
9. Do community pharmacists have computer access to the emergency care record? If so is this for all patients or just for CMS registered patients?
10. Is the fact of CMS registration along with details of the community pharmacy noted on the emergency care record?
