2	S001	NHS Forth Valley	Scotland	No	Yes	No	3	3	0	0	yes	0	0	0	yes	no	£67/year	no	Tried for 2 years - then with no clarity went to FOI. NHS Forth Valley has only three Registers open to public for 2010-13. These Registers were made available only AFTER FOI enquiry. Only one NHS staff educational event mentioned the rest all Board member entries. Ian Mullen, Chairman of NHS Forth Valley (up until recently) was also Chair and wrote the foreword to Scottish Government Policy Scottish Government publication: Guidance on Joint-Working between NHS-Scotland and the Pharmaceutical Industry Published 2nd November 2012 http://pinterest.com/pin/537758011726186698/	http://www.nhsforthvalley.com/about-us/board-matters/code-of-conduct

5	S004	NHS Fife	Scotland	yes	no	yes	1 (only 2012-13 provided)	unclear	0	0	yes	22/year	unclear - at least 2	Yes - £2,400	unclear but seems likely	unclear	£2,400	no	Registers provided for 2012-13 in Excel format. NHS Fife states "NHS Fife already publishes this information on our Website. Therefore under Section 25 NHS Fife does not need to provide that information requested under Section 1 of FOISA if that information is "reasonably obtainable" to the applicant by other means, which in this case it is." But, to-date, I cannot find the link. I have 3 times written to ask for clarification. Only one payment disclosed: "CHP Annual Conference received a total of £2,400 contribution towards hospitality and exhibition space from 7 Pharmaceutical Companies"	states there is a link (but I cannot find)
6	S005	NHS Orkney	Scotland	yes	no	No	1 (only 2012-13 mentioned)	unclear	0	0	do not know	0	0	0	yes	unclear	£0/year	no	NHS Orkney reply, 29-05-2013: "NHS Orkney is a small remote and rural health board and during 2012/2013 there were no items submitted / received for inclusion in the register of interests for staff members - if there were it would have been given as an appendix to the document you received. Therefore I can confirm that within NHS Orkney no employees of NHS Orkney received payments from payments from pharmaceutical companies." It may be of interest to note the following extract from NHS Orkney's Code of Corporate Governance – Standards of Business Conduct for NHS Staff Gifts: Gifts, which could place an individual in a position of conflict, between their private interests and that required in the execution of their NHS duties should be politely but firmly declined. MEL (1994) 48 provides that staff may accept gifts of low intrinsic value or small tokens of gratitude (such as diaries or calendars). This code deems the acceptable level to be £20. If in doubt, staff must contact their line manager before acceptance. All gifts accepted within the limit by staff must be declared to their line manager. Managers should on a regular basis provide this information to the Board Secretary for recording in the Register of Gifts and Hospitality.	no link provided (awaiting further reply)

I note that you have "have checked with a number of senior clinical and other staff as to whether such a register of payments from pharmaceutical companies is maintained by NHS Grampian. The response I have received is that no such register is maintained and therefore a copy is unable to be provided for you"You continue; " I have looked at any alternatives to such a Register that might be relevant to your query. There is a corporate hospitality register which is completed by senior staff but this generally relates to invitations to seminars, dinners, other events by private companies etc. I have reviewed that register and can find no entries relating to payments made by pharmaceutical companies to staff. There is also a Register of Board Members` Interests but again that would not appear to fall within the area of your request"You then state: "I have also checked out with relevant officers the position regarding clinical trials with pharmaceutical companies. These entailed various pharmaceutical sponsors providing grants for studies to be carried out. In these "live” studies there are frequently confidentiality agreements between the companies involved and the Health Board. I have also been advised that any funding provided by the pharmaceutical companies does not go directly to clinicians involved but to relevant departments, endowments or NHS Grampian generally. Again, these would therefore not appear to be what you were enquiring about"And you end: "In all of the circumstances therefore, NHS Grampian is unable to provide a register to meet your requirements. If you feel however, that your enquiry relates to any of the points above. please let me know and these will be pursued further for you."	http://www.nhslothian.scot.nhs.uk/OurOrg...
