Paper usage 725/2023

FOI Reference: 725/2023

 

Request:

I’m requesting information on the following If it is currently held including;

1 - What is the usage of paper across the organisation in the latest financial year – this includes printing and paper forms usage. If detailed enough, can this be broken down into specific offices / properties.

2 - If no data is held – what is the ambition of the organisation regarding paper usage, is there an ambition to become paperless? 

3 - Do you have any policies relating to paper, forms or printing usage in the organisation and what do they specify? 

Clarification Q:

This is a very broad request and may need to be sent to all force departments as they will all use paper forms of some sort and the capture of this use may not be recorded.  We do have data in regards to Print Room and Multi-Functional Devices. Do you wish to receive this data.

Clarification A:

If no data is currently held on paper forms usage, Print Room and Multi-Functional Devices data would be useful instead.

Information on the following would also be useful;

• What is the ambition of the organisation regarding paper usage, is there an ambition to become paperless?
• Do you have any policies relating to paper, forms or printing usage in the organisation and what do they specify?
