Qu2. Is the organisations medical training (either in part or whole) provided by a commercial enterprise, if yes, what was the annual spend on commercially delivered medical training during the most recently available financial year?

SFRS run training in-house with our own instructors getting assistance where required. We have used outside providers, please refer to the table above (Q1) for these and the spend.

Qu3. Does the organisation have a Clinical Governance (CG) framework? If yes, is the framework provided by a commercial enterprise or is the CG framework from within the organisation?

We are currently in the process of arranging some clinical governance so at present we do not have a framework.
