Declarations of Payments to Patient Organisations

We believe in working transparently with the patient organisations that we engage with.

In December 2015 we organised a meeting involving four members of patient organisations, Support in Mind Scotland, Rethink, Hafal and Mindwise. A grant of £187.10 was provided to Support In Mind Scotland, and a grant of £192 was provided to Mindwise to cover travel and accommodation.

In March 2016 two textbooks were provided to Rethink. The total value of the books was £103.98

In October 2016, April 2018 and July 2018 we paid Hafal £10,000 (a total of £30,000) to support administration and general running costs. In addition we paid £2,750 for the development of an Early Intervention guide. £600 of this was paid in October 2016 and the remaining £2,150 was paid in Feb 2017. A textbook was supplied to Hafal in 2016, with a value of £51.99.

The financial costs of £975.08 associated with having a speaker for a meeting/conference held 2nd – 4th November, were provided to Schizofreniföreningen i Skǻne by us. We had no influence on the choice of speaker nor the content of his speech/lecture or any other content or material for this meeting/conference.
