Request
I am currently studying a BSc (Hons) in Healthcare.
Part of my course is the comparison of Healthcare Services in the UK and Scandinavia, in particular staffing structures, Job Titles and Reporting Lines.
Under the Freedom of Information Act would it be possible to send me the structure chart for your organisation. This will really help with my project!
