1) How much did the local authority spend in each of the past three financial years (2019/20, 2020/21, 2021/22) on pathology testing in each of the following areas:
– Testing relating to sexually transmitted diseases
– Testing related to public health issues (such as screening for latent tuberculosis)
Devon County Council does not hold this information because sexual health services are paid for through a block arrangement. In the interests of providing advice and assistance, the Budget Books include information about spending on sexual health.
– Other testing
Devon County Council does not hold this information because it does not commission pathology services for wider public health services, as this would be through National Health Service England Improvement (NHSEI) and the Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG).
2) Please list the amount spent in each year with any pathology laboratories (including NHS) with which the authority spent over £25,000 in any calendar year.
