The Scottish Ambulance Service does not have a dedicated Commercial Services function. While the Service does undertake some commercial activities, these are carried out by staff alongside their primary roles within the organisation
We have applied section 17(1) of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 to your request for income generated through commercial activities; we are required to issue a notice if we do not hold the information requested. To help explain the application of this exemption our finance and accounting systems do not hold income data in a way that allows us to identify income generated by “commercial activity, there is no code that allows us to report on this.
