Employer pension contributions
Any performance-related bonuses or incentive payments
Other remuneration or taxable benefits (e.g. relocation expenses, housing or car allowances)
The total cost to the organisation of employing each individual, including all of the above components
If these figures are available in published remuneration reports or accounts, please feel free to provide a link or extract those relevant sections.

Memberships or subscriptions to EDI-related organisations or accreditation bodies
If a breakdown is not held or collated centrally, an aggregate figure with explanatory context would be appreciated.

Please also provide the total expenditure for the financial year on the following categories, where data is available:
Staff engagement activities (e.g. away days, retreats, team-building exercises)

Aesthetic or non-clinical enhancements to premises (e.g. commissioned artwork, decorative refurbishments)
Expenditure related to environmental sustainability or climate strategy (e.g. staff, consultancy, net zero projects)
These categories are not presented as value judgments but to understand wider resource allocation practices. If centralised figures are not available, please provide what is reasonably accessible or advise under section 15 of FOISA (“Duty to Advise and Assist”) on how the request might be refined.”
