Dear Ms Wilson
Re: Official Information Act Request I refer to your Official Information Act request received by email on 28 June 2016 in which you
specifically requested the following:
I am interested in finding out what the costs have been to the SDHB to implement the
Compass contract and changes to the food services. (This includes the share of the
cost of the business plan and any changes to the kitchens/systems needed). What are
the savings made so far?
Exact costs and savings from outsourcing food services to Compass are work in progress.
SDHB is negotiating final costs and prices with Compass and until that process is complete
the final savings numbers for 2015/16 will not be known.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review of our decision by the Ombudsman.
The Ombudsman's Office can be contacted on 0800 802 602 or on-line at

Carole Heatly
Chief Executive Officer
