- Information Requested
I would like to request the following:
- A list of all -cides used by the Ambulance Service. This is inclusive of, but not limited to: any and all avicides, biocides, fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, pesticides, and rodenticides.
- The annual cost and volume of purchase of each of these -cides, broken down by -cide, from January 2014 to December 2024. Please list this on a spreadsheet (CSV), broken down by: 1. -Cide 2. Product Name 3. Volume Purchased 4. Price Paid 5. Purchase Date
- A list of each of these -cides' use, by volume. Through this I am trying to ascertain whether the purchased volume is matched by the used volume, so if there is a record of expired or unused -cides too, that would be ideal. Please add this to the above CSV as an additional column, also on an annual basis over the same time period. Please list volume in either litres or kilograms, whichever is more appropriate.
- Only if available and easily accessible, the location and purpose of each specific -cide’s use. For the former, this may be classified by: location grouping, address, coordinate, or otherwise.
- Response
Please see the attached sheet detailing the –cides utilised by the Scottish Ambulance Service. This information is only available from July 2018, any information from before this date is information not held under section 17 of the Freedom of Information Scotland Act 2002.
The Body fluid spill large biocide is used service-wide in the Scottish Ambulance Service.
