The NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement tell us they have had a rolling three-month contract with Freshwater Public Affairs, formerly The Waterfront Partnership, which began in May 2009. Up to and including November 2009, the NHS Institute has paid Freshwater Public Affairs £42,000. This contract sits alongside the NHS Institute’s overall contract for communications and public relations support with Freshwater UK.
Given the commercially sensitive nature of the content of the contract, it is not intended to place a full copy of this information in the Library but the NHS Institute is willing to discuss the contract with the hon. Member.
