RESPONSE 1
The total cost for the CEO Direct video was £4,642 (inclusive of VAT).
RESPONSE 2
Following feedback from the membership and other key stakeholders, the expenditure was considered to be necessary with a view to improving communications and transparency in respect of the management of the PFEW. The spending comes from the PFEW HQ budget and is authorised by the CEO.
RESPONSE 3
The CEO Direct videos are part of an occasional series, part of a wider set of communications and as such there is no fixed number planned and therefore no fixed budget.
