Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy
The following information was requested:
We would like to know the number of employees within NHS Resolution whose job roles formally require them to address issues of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI), including but not limited to all staff whose job title has ‘EDI’ ‘Equality’ ‘Diversity’ or ‘Inclusion’ in it, as well as all remuneration costs for these roles.
Does NHS resolution have an EDI strategy, a diversity strategy, or any other strategy aimed at increasing the amount of female, BAME, LGBT+, or disabled employees?
What are the costs related to the development and implementation of these strategies?
Is NHS Resolution involved in any other project or initiative aimed at promoting diversity, in terms of gender, ethnicity, nationality, sexual preference or ablebodiedness, and if so, what are the costs related to these projects or initiatives?
Trusts merged
The following information was requested:
The information provided [in FOI_5320] says the University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation paid out £70.4m between 2010-2021, but the trust only formed in 2021. Do you know which organisation the FOI covers before then?
We think it should cover Western Sussex Hospitals and Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals, which merged in 2021 to form University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust (UH Sussex). Is this correct?

The following information was requested:
What is the cost of litigation against the NHS? £10s of billions I believe and I suspect that, like cyberattacks, half is due to people, the rest poorly implemented, non-existent or ad hoc processes.
