2. Can you provide a breakdown of these costs by language translated.

We do not hold our data in this way, and cannot provide the detailed breakdown you require, as we cannot derive this information from invoices, and our accounting codes only point to a combined Languages and Translation Services Costs and do not provide any breakdown by language nor translation media type..

3. Do you hire any dedicated translators? If so provide details of how many, total salary cost and for what language.

The Trust does not employ dedicated translation staff.
