Gifts for Nursing Staff

FOI REFERENCE: 24479     FOI DATE: 29^th October 2024     

Please can you supply a breakdown for the years 2022-23 and 2023-24 of items logged on your organisation’s gifts and hospitality register by/relating to nursing staff* (include Agenda for Change band 5 and above).  I request the following details laid out like the following example, in table form:

The register is published annually on our website. You can find the 2023/24 register here: Our board Archive – Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust

Please can you also tell me – does your organisation have a policy with a monetary limit on gifts (i.e. gifts valued under £50 are allowed) and are cash gifts ever permitted?

Under our Standards of Business Conduct Policy, gifts valued at over £50 should only be accepted on behalf of the Trust’s Charity and not in a personal capacity. Gifts valued under £50 need not be declared. Cash gifts may not be accepted.
