Conservative, Mid Bedfordshire
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how much has been spent by East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust on (a) legal fees and (b) other costs associated with terminating the employment of David Perrin and defending legal action brought by him.
Karin Smyth
Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care)
National Health Service trusts are separate legal entities and handle their own employment matters in accordance with employment law and regulatory requirements. The Department does not centrally hold information on legal fees or other costs incurred by individual trusts in specific employment cases.

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
