As part of the government’s commitment to greater transparency, there is a requirement to publish online, central government expenditure over £25,000. As a trust we are exceeding this minimum requirement and publishing all expenditure for transactions over £500. These details are updated monthly in comma-separated values (CSV) files.

We report on facilities time information data which is the time off we give to staff for trade union activities. This data is usually updated and uploaded the UK government portal annually on or before the 31 July.

Medicines formulary guidance

The formulary guidance has been agreed across the trust and should be used to inform the selection of medicines, and their use, in its provision of mental health services.

These services will develop as a result of new therapies, emergent evidence and changes in commissioning intention.

The formulary guidance will:

• be a constantly evolving and dynamic document providing guidance on appropriate and cost-effective prescribing
• contain some prescribing notes with key messages on best practice
• aim to help prescribers choose the most appropriate medicines whilst ensuring value for money in the use of NHS resources

The trust has internal policies and procedures in place that assess supplier risk in relation to the potential for modern slavery or human trafficking.
