Orthodontic Discontinued Fees
I would like the following information released under the Freedom on Information Act.
- Any meetings, correspondences, notes, reasonings and logistics for the fee-scale given in the document entitled 'Discontinued Fees' as applies to Orthodontic treatment?
I am interested to know the basis on which this fee-scale was determined, as I feel that the fee scale is disproportionate to the work undertaken.
- Any meetings, correspondences, reasonings, notes, reasonings and logistics for changing the existing system for the leaving orthodontist to be paid for their share for treatment undertaken by them, only after the 2nd orthodontist has completed that patient's orthodontic treatment?
I am interested to know what has been discussed to mitigate the patients' treatment being adversely affected because of this decision, as it will encourage orthodontists coming into UK for short period of time and then leaving for financial gains. The existing system safeguards against this and ensured continuity of treatment for the patients in Scotland.

A copy of the reports, and any drafts of these reports, which are mentioned in the document (page 6,1): QEUH Royal Hospital for Chidren Water Contamination Incident
A copy of the reports, and any drafts of these reports, which are mentioned in this document,page 6, final paragraph: https://hpspubsrepo.blob.core.windows.net/hps-website/nss/2785/documents/1_queen-elizabeth-university-hospital-royal-hospital-for-chidren-water-contamination-incident.pdf
I can see from the final paragraph there is mention of a report submitted on May 31st, 2018, as well as a subsequent report being requested. It also mentions that HPS worked with HFS on technical investigations and report production. I would like a copy of any reports produced alongside HFS, and any drafts of these reports also.
"An initial report was produced by HPS and submitted to Scottish Government (SG) and NHSGGC on 31st May 2018. Due to the ongoing and complex nature of this incident and investigation a further report was requested. This report is a summary overview of this investigation however due to the large volume of data and complexities associated with this incident further technical work is being undertaken by HFS. HPS worked with the support of HFS as the technical engineering experts to support this investigation and report production."
