- How much revenue has been received by your organisation for services rendered to film and television productions? This could include location rental, permits and all other services related to film productions using your personnel or resources.
- Please outline the type of work or service rendered, in each case and disclose the revenue received for each type of service.

Decision
HSSIB does not hold this information (namely, any data for 2014/15 to 2022/23 inclusive).
An explanation for this can be found below, as well as a contact email address for NHS England who will be able to assist further.
The timeframe for the request (2014/15 to 2022/23 inclusive) was a time when HSSIB was not in existence. HSSIB can only provide data from 1 October 2023 onwards as HSSIB is an independent arm's length body that came into existence on 1 October 2023. The former body, the Healthcare Safety Investigation Branch (HSIB), was in place at the time in question and was hosted by NHS England. Therefore, data for the timeframe 2014/15 to 2022/23 inclusive will be held by NHS England. Further details can be found on the HSIB legacy page, which explains the difference between HSIB and HSSIB.
NHS England can be reached on: england.contactus@nhs.net.
NB: in the interests of transparency, and whilst outside of the timeframe specified by the requester, HSSIB have provided a response to question (1) of this request below:
Since coming into being on 1 October 2023, HSSIB have not received any revenue for services rendered to film and television productions. This means that questions (2) and (3) are also a ‘nil’ return.
