Request Summary: Training on new technology
Request Category: Private Individuals
| Question Number 1: How many staff members have taken part in training on new technology systems in your Trust over the last five years (from 2020 to 2025)? | |
| Answer To Question 1: I would expect every member of staff to have had some training on new technology over the last five years, so over 5,000 staff. | |
| Question Number 2: How much has been spent on training staff members on new technology systems in your Trust over the last five years (from 2020 to 2025)? | |
| Answer To Question 2: This is not possible to answer in the allotted hours available for FOI due to not being available in a reportable format which would mean we would have to go back to every project over the last 5 years and calculate how much time of staff and non-pay was spent for each role. Therefore Exemption 12 applied. Within digital services there is a £25k budget for training however this is not just specific for technology systems but for wider asks of the department's staff. | |
